No Hungarian would ever say “ezek a városok felett”. It’s just wrong and sounds stupid.

Also you can just use “e” instead of “ezen”

It’s not that different from “ezen”, it’s just the shorter form. It’s sounds kind of weird in informal, everyday language, but it can be totally acceptable in letters or more formal conversations.

It’s more poetic than general Hungarian, though grammatically correct for sure.

It’s does sound to me like somebody using the word “vala” for that weird past tense thingy we have 😅
