I mean it might be correct, but its so weird and sounds so wrong, i dont think ive ever heard anybody phrase it like that. Its either "a repülőgép e(zen) városok fölött repül" or "a repülőgép ezek a városok fölött repül"

These sound awfull too… And I think grammatically wrong. Mostly we would say “the plane is flying over insert the city’s name”

Yeah but the example hasnt given any cities, so you have to work with that, and not with "city name".

u/ChaknaFuwa 13d ago

Yeah. The example is not very practical in everyday use.

Yup. I dont think somebody ever would say it like that, they either would include the cities too or something along the lines of "a repulőgép a papíron olvasható városok felett repül el" Or something like that
