Questions & Answers about A bank zárolja a bankszámlát.
What does each word in A bank zárolja a bankszámlát mean?
- a = the
- bank = bank
- zárolja = freezes / blocks / locks
- a = the
- bankszámlát = bank account (as the direct object)
So the structure is:
A bank = the bank
zárolja = freezes/blocks
a bankszámlát = the bank account
Why is there a twice?
Because Hungarian uses the definite article before both the subject and the object when both are definite.
So:
- a bank = the bank
- a bankszámlát = the bank account
This is normal in Hungarian. English also often does this: The bank freezes the bank account.
Why is it a and not az?
