"Az ausztrál gyerekek annál a falnál ülnek a földön."

Translation: The Australian children sit on the ground by that wall.

[bnyugat]

Surely they are sitting on the ground...since floor is padló...

[RyagonIV]

Padló is a built floor specifically, but föld covers it as well. Föld is basically "what you're walking on" - floor, ground, earth, or Earth.

Is there some reason, "The Australian children are sitting on the ground at that wall." is wrong? When I took Hungarian classes, teachers tended to favor translating "nal" "nel" as "at" and not by, which in english too closely operates like the post position "mellett".

[Hulk014]

You're right. We could say "at the wall" or "against the wall" for translating "a falnál".

[KlaraMille]

Yes. I agree. They are sitting on the ground next to the wall.

[Jcvug]

How would you say "the children by the wall sit on the ground", that is "by the wall" is part of the subject?

Fascinating. I listened to this a few times and struggled to decide whether she was saying fánál or falnál. In the end, I opted for fánál and it was marked correct!
