"A víz alatt nem kaptam levegőt."

Translation: I could not breathe under water.

[-__Jacob__-]

'Breathe' instead of 'breath'?

[vvsey]

Yes! Or take a breath.

[Kolozs2]

"I did not get any air" shoul also be accepted, as it is a more literal translation closer to the Hungarian text. Reported.

I wrote "I didn't take a breath" but although vvsey said it should be accepted, it wasn't

[jzsuzsi]

I think, "I didn't take a breath" and "I could not breathe" are different.

"I didn't take a breath" - Nem vettem levegőt. (More like intentional, I decided not to take a breath)

While "I could not breathe" - Nem kaptam levegőt. (Maybe I wanted to take a breath, but I couldn't, because I was under water.)

[Martin101363]

Yes, I understand that difference. Thanks
