"There is a tall fence around that garden."

Translation: A körül a kert körül van egy magas kerítés.

[Arpad737071]

We would say it:
Az a kert körül egy magas kerítés van.

[Anna540950]

Wow never heard it saying like that before XD

[GyrgyFnyes1]

Not important "egy "
Magas kerítés van a körül a kert körül,

[EmmaIulia]

This is wrong - it uses around twice.

[O_Matty]

Around should be there twice - once before (a körül specifies "around that", as opposed to e körül, which is "around this") and once after (kert körül is necessary because körül has to follow the noun it is positioning, the same as -on or -ben). It's a quirk of Hungarian grammar that takes some getting used to.

I put "A körül a kert körül egy magas kerítés áll." Is there any reason this is wrong?

[BigWayne19]

--------- maybe duo wants the "a'll " where the "van " is in their sentence . . .

I put all instead of van. You accept it for houses, cars and wardrobes but not a fence. Is there a reason for this or is it the case that the computer hasn't been programmed to accept it?

[duolingoHepCat]

Why is "Van egy magyar kerités a körül a kert körül." wrong?

[Jela.]

Why is it "a körül" and not "az körül"?

[BigWayne19]

-------- the z drops in front of a consonant . . .

Not sure how they get 'that' garden and not 'the' garden here.

[BigWayne19]

------ a ko:ru:l a kert ... the first "a " used to be "az " but because it comes before a consonant, the z goes away. so it was: az ko:ru:l a kert ko: ru:l and now you have "az a " kert which translates as "that " . . .
