Questions & Answers about A bérelhető bútorozott lakás olyan drága, mint a felújított ingatlan.

Why is there no word for is in this sentence?

In Hungarian, the verb to be is usually left out in the present tense, third person.

So instead of saying something like A lakás olyan drága, mint... with an explicit is, Hungarian simply says:

A lakás olyan drága, mint...

This is completely normal and means:

The apartment is as expensive as...

You would only normally see the verb van if:

• it is not third person singular/plural in the present tense, or
• you need it for emphasis or a special structure.

For example:

• Én fáradt vagyok. = I am tired.
• A lakás drága. = The apartment is expensive.
