"The politician is standing among the reporters."

Translation: A politikus a riporterek között áll.

[hungwas88]

why we do not add accusative "- t " prefix to the word"riporterek"?

[jsiehler]

Because it is not the direct object of the verb.

[ManuelEcua1]

Aren't politician and reporters the direct objects of the verb?? Miért? ?

[jsiehler]

No, a riporterek között is a prepositional phrase which describes where the action is taking place.

You would use the accusative in a sentence like: A politikus a riportereket látja - "The politician sees the reporters". In that sentence, the reporters are the direct object of the verb.

Good question

[WilliamsBlair]

I think of it as: is something required to finish the sentence? You can walk or stand without any other words. But if you are seeing something, you need a "something" to see (the direct object).
