"Csinálta..."
Geeze, and I thought here I was supposed to just put the T before the definite suffix, and voilá. It happens there is a whole new table for Past Definite/Indefinite.
Hungarian makes me wanna cry... =/
Please don't be disappointed. We are happy that you are trying to learn our difficult but wonderful language. It is like a Sudoku or a mind-breaker game. Great gym for the brain! Greetings from Hungary to all of you, Duo users!:)
You will be smiling at the end, because, for the future tense, you will have to learn one single verb and its conjugation. Ain't that just wonderful. :)
Similar to (1) future "fog + inf", I was happy to find (2) subjunctive/imperative and the (3) "conditional past tense" uplifting and wonderful (def/indef past tense + volna).
Many people wouldn't even use the word 'csinál' in Hungarian. We would rather say 'készít'. Ki készített pirosakat?
Why is "készitett" not accepted? We are told that it's the "wrong word". Is it?
I think I recall reading here that a question word should be immediately followed by the verb
The translation is correct, but this sounfs like a nonsense question in both languages. The only eay thid works is of "red ones" was the official name of something. If its a description then it should be "THE red ones" in english and "A pirosakat" in Hungarian

Which makes it difficult to choose between the indefinite or definite conjugation! In my mind I was thinking of it as being 'the' rather than 'some', but it's a bit ambiguous in English in such a short sentence and no context.
I said "Ki készitett a pirosakat?" and still got burned. I am still messed up with that "a".
if it's "a pirosakat", it should be "készítette" to be grammatical at all.
Ki is third person, csináltál is not, pirosak is not in the accusative and there is an unwanted article in the sentence. I hope I didn't miss anything.
The multiple choice answer ('prompt') is now: "Ki készített pirosakat?"

Would the word: csinaltal work? It is what I recalled hearing as a kid.
Hi Rosa: have a look here for your word and other conjugations

One may feel inclined to continue the debate, since the choice now depends more clearly on what "the red ones", in fact, are.
vvsey's contribution there includes this link:

Not sure if vörös is in the accepted list for this sentence.
On one hand, your version has a different meaning, on the other hand the english sentence could be used for both so.... you could try to report it.
