Questions & Answers about A földszinti tároló olyan kicsi, mint a belső udvar.

Why is there no word for is in this sentence?

Hungarian often leaves out the verb van (is) in the present tense, third person when one noun or adjective is being linked to the subject.

So instead of saying something like A tároló van kicsi, Hungarian simply says:

A tároló kicsi.
= The storage room is small.

That is why in A földszinti tároló olyan kicsi, mint a belső udvar, there is no separate word for is.

If you changed the tense, the verb would appear:

• A tároló kicsi volt. = The storage room was small.
• A tároló kicsi lesz. = The storage room will be small.
