"Azok a fiúk fekszenek le, akik fáradtak."

Translation: The boys who are tired lie down.

[ray.meredith]

Is "THE boys who are tired, are lying down" also acceptable? I ask because, in my experience, the meaning of "az" and "azok" in this sort of sentence aren't always consistently translated as "that" or "those".

(When I say "this sort of sentence", I mean this particular pattern, which appears to be the analagous structure to the English language relative clause, which is usually classified as a type of adjective describing the head noun.)

[Bastette54]

I have the same question. In other sentences of this type ("azok a ... akik/amelyek/etc ..."), the "azok a" is usually translated as "the." In fact, I distinctly remember some of my translations being rejected because I said "those" instead.

So I'm wondering if "The boys..." just needs to be added, or if this is a different kind of sentence, in which "azok a" always means "those?"

I can hear a [x] sound in the recording of "fekszenek"
is this normal?

[Bastette54]

Yes, the sound of "ksz" sounds like "x".

[deactivated user]

That's so weird. I've been doing this course for months, this is the first time I've heard it pronounced like this.

[Bastette54]

How do you usually hear it?

[deactivated user]

In all other exercises so far 'ksz' is pronounced with a hard 'k' like in the English word 'backseat'. This is the only exercise where it is suddenly pronounced as a Hebrew/Arabic g. By the way, Google Translate also pronounces it as a 'k', (click the audio button) https://translate.google.com/#en/nl/fekszenek

[Bastette54]

Oh, I misunderstood! In English, the 'x' sounds like 'ks' (or like 'ksz' in Hungarian orthography). I didn't realize you were referring to a different sound altogether (often referred to as sounding like the 'ch' in "Bach"). Hungarian doesn't have that sound.

-------- what is the sound of H in me'h (bee ) , if hungarian doesn't have the Bach sound ? . ..

Where is the word "bed" in this sentence?

[Bastette54]

LOL. It's not there. But maybe "lefekszenek" is used to mean "they go to bed," even though literally it means "they lie down." That is, it could mean both.

[MitjaSterman]

Azok a fiúk, akik fáradtak, fekszenek le. Is this version also acceptable?

[Hulk014]

That is okay. But i would rather say "lefekszenek" if the verb is at the end.

[Unicorn-hair]

Nem helyes. Inkább így: azok a fiúk, akik fáradtak, lefekszenek.
