"Az ügyvéd lelép a járdáról az utcára."

Translation: The lawyer steps down from the sidewalk to the street.

[Oldfatdad]

"Onto the street" makes sense too, and it is more literal. But, it is not accepted as a correct translation. Is there a good reason for this?

[jsiehler]

No good reason. I'd probably use "onto" too.

pavement is British English for sidewalk

[Martybet]

Strictly speaking "the street" would be "the pavement/sidewalk" and you would step (down) from the pavement onto the road. But I think we can guess what it is they are trying to say here.

[DavidCarver]

If I wasn't trying to use Duo-English, I'd say "he stepped off the pavement into the road"

[ElizabethCade]

In England we say pavement. I assumed I was translating to English not American. Please accept the English word for jarda

[AlexfromMK]

there is no onto in the word bank

[Patricia460976]

I'd use "into the street" but that may be regional.

The Hungarian sentence does not make sense. "Járda" is part of "utca". "Úttest" should be used instead of "utca".
