"Az indiai gyereken pulóver is van."

Translation: The Indian child is wearing a sweater, too.

[JimmRepp]

Does this mean both that the child is wearing a sweater (along with jeans) and that the child is wearing a sweater (just like the other children), or would this be distinguished in Hungarian?

...pulóver is van - along with jeans; Az indiai gyereken is van pulover - just like other children

Could I say also "az indiai gyerek puloverEN is van"?

[SevHeB1]

visel" is the Hu word for "wear" so the best translation would be: Az indiai gyerek pulóvert is visel. or: Az indiai gyerek is visel pulóvert. But in everyday usage we often say that a peace of clothes is ON you or you are IN it: A gyerekEN pulóver van (on the boy), A gyerek pulóverBAN van.(he is in it).

That's what I noticed in the sentences - Az amerikai fiúBEN púlover van. And, VAN needs to be included since it is describing location - ON the

[SevHeB1]

Be careful: a fiúban = in the boy; a pulóverben = in the sweater. (In English the place is expressed by a preposition before the noun but in Hungarian the noun comes first followed by a suffix.

Why is it not puloverben? Surely az indiai gyereken pulover is van means the the indian child is also a pullover

[jzsuzsi]

there are different versions

Az indiai gyerek pulóverben van. (literally: The Indian child is in a sweater.)

Az indiai gyereken pulóver van. (literally: A sweater is on the Indian child. )

Az indiai gyerek pulóvert visel. (or: pulóvert hord.) (literally: The Indian child wears a sweater. )

Thank you.

Why is the English translation “a sweater” when the Hungarian is only “gyereken pulóver is van” with no article “egy”?
