"We step from the sidewalk onto the crosswalk."

Translation: A járdáról a zebrára lépünk.

[LadyInque]

Why can't the word lépünk go first in the sentence?

[-BigWayne19-]

------- couple of possibilities: 1) not a rule... but... , verbs like to be at the end of the sentence... 2) whatever's just in front of the verb gets the emphasis . . .

The emphasis thing is hard, when you're translating sentences out of context.

[Harga]

Little bit different meaning is ok.: Lelépünk a járdáról a zebrára.

[JereArmen]

So, starting the sentence with "Lépünk" puts the emphasis on us?

[LaineyHitch]

Zebra crossing rather than crosswalk?

[JohnWeber786406]

That's the word for crosswalk - it is a striped area of asphalt in a lot of countries.

I had to ask my partner to translate the American English into British English for me before I could translate it into Hungarian.
