"The Russian kindergarten teacher is swimming above the river."

Translation: Az orosz óvónő a folyó fölött úszik.

[Krisbaudi]

How is it possible, to swim above the river?

[jsiehler]

Probably only in the imagination.

I think there is a metaphorical sense in which you can say that a business either a víz fölött úszik (if it's doing well) or a víz alatt úszik if it is not doing well. That is like the idiom, "keeping your head above water" in English.

But I think this sentence is just a fantasy about one of Duo's magical kindergarten teachers magically swimming along above the river.

[Han-Miru]

Never underestimate what russian kindergarten teachers can do :-)

[Kathy979841]

I agree and I am getting a bit fed up with it all. However I an glad that I am not a kindergarten teacherbof any kind.

This is why not correct: "Az orosz óvónő úszik a folyó felett."

[Waksee]

fölött = felett, fix this

[Judit294350]

Why not "A orosz óvónő úszik a folyó fölött"?

[Krisbaudi]

If the next word starts with a vocal, it is AZ. Like in English A and AN.

[Judit294350]

Bother - missed that.
