"Az áruházak a repülőterek mellett vannak."

Translation: The department stores are by the airports.

[TomkaDominique]

The department stores are beside the airports. beside is not correct in this sentence?

[magyarorfraz]

I had the same issue. Seeing as the words are interchangable in English, and that 'beside' was correct for 'mellett' in a previous question, I don't understand why it isn't also correct in this translation.

[Krisbaudi]

Next to the airport wasn't accepted either.

[Harga]

Try plural: "Next to the airports"

[MercedesEm13]

Please explain why my answer is wrong: beside the airport.Thank you

[jzsuzsi]

It shouldn't be airport, but airports. ( repülőterek is plural)

"[beside/next to/by] the airports" are accepted here.

[pethoa]

by, next to, beside -- What is the different?
