"People are standing by the houses and painting."

Translation: A házaknál emberek állnak és festenek.

[Daniel640094]

How about: Az emeberek a házaknál állnak és festenek?

[Hulk014]

It's ok. Although the emphasis is placed on "by the houses".

If the translation is 'People' why do we need Az emberek?

Hungarian always uses an article before a generalized noun

[opakai]

It could be also correct: "Az emberek a házak mellett állnak és festenek". Isn't it? Köszönöm.

I wrote: : Az emberek a házaknál állnak és festenek, which I now realize was not the ideal word order BUT it was counted correct while the Duo correct answer was given as
"Az emberek a házaknal allnak es festenek" with missing correct accent marks on "házaknal allnak es" which were underlined. So the Duo correct answer had three accent mark errors!.

Correct answer is A házaknál emberek állnak és festenek. Why is "az" omitted before "emberek"?
