"Where is the book that you are reading?"

Translation: Hol van a könyv, amit olvasol?

[baldgymnastnurse]

Shouldn't this be olvasod since it is a specific book?

[jsiehler]

Logically, you would think so, but the pronoun amit is not a definite object. When amit is the direct object of a verb, the verb should be indefinite. (I think the logic behind this is that amit is derived from mit, which - sensibly - is treated as an indefinite object: Mit olvasol? And so amit kind of "inherits" that behavior.)

[guilth]

why amit here and not ami?

[jsiehler]

Because in the clause where it appears, it is the direct object of the verb olvasol.

And why not "amelyiket" or something like that :)?

[0RQI5oxc]

Then you should say ' Hol van az a könyv, amelyiket olvasod?"

[guntunge]

I would have expected "Hol van AZ a könyv, amit olvasoD?" anyway.

[Kifike]

Jajj!

That's what I tried and it was marked wrong :(
