"There are not many fish in the rivers, from which the German airplanes take off."

Translation: Azokban a folyókban nincs sok hal, amelyekről felszállnak a német repülőgépek.

My Hungarian wife cannot even translate these sentences correctly in Hungarian. Hungarian is her mother tongue, she is fluent. I am not and want to rip my head off for trying to learn this language! There are just few good, or no good English translations for these kinds of sentences.

Finally a sentence I know I will be able to use! Budapest, here I come!

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this: " Nincs sok hal azokban az folyókban, amelyekről az német repülőgépek felszállnak." ? Is it just "az német?" Or does it also have to do with the word order? This was one of those "select all correct translations," multiple choice questions. I chose the correct one, but also this one. If there's a problem with the word order, I'd like to know what it is.

[vvsey]

It is just "az folyókban" and "az német". Otherwise the word order would be correct.

[Daniel640094]

What about "kevés hal van.." here instead of "nincs sok hal..."

[RyagonIV]

That would be grammatically correct, but you'd have "few fish" as the English translation.

[Martybet]

"Azokban" in those? I can't see this in the English translation, and they are usually picky over such things!

[RyagonIV]

It's because this is part of an "Az..., amelyik" construction, which you don't need to translate as "Those... which". The English language itself isn't so picky about this. :)

It's not wrong to use it, though.

I just entered this exact sentence (it was a "type what you hear" exercise) and it was rejected because I didn't write "amelyikről." But that isn't even what it says right here!
