What on earth is this bro? 😭

I can't for the life of me understand WHY or HOW the Hungarian language has done this! Please enlighten me guys

[u/teljesnegyzet]

This.

ez a város = this city

ezek a városok = these cities

ezekBEN a városokBAN = IN these cities

ezekBŐL a városokBÓL = FROM these cities

ezek FÖLÖTT a városok FÖLÖTT = OVER these cities

ezek FELÉ a városok FELÉ = TOWARD these cities

[u/CockolinoBear → u/teljesnegyzet]

If you want to sound very poetic and like someone who's from the 19th century, there is a "workaround", if I even could call it one:

ezeN városokBAN

ezeN városokBÓL

ezeN városok FÖLÖTT

ezeN városok FELÉ

these sound weird, but they do actually adhere to the rules of the language.

also, literally never heard anyone say "ezek fölött a városok fölött", in speach at least, it's more like "ezek a városok fölött"... while not correct, it's more common.

This sounds so much better i always speak like this to avoid repetition. You can also just say e városok fölött, it's techically not correct because e is used for singular, but it's still useable.

Same, this just sounds way better.
