Questions & Answers about Az épület jól látszik.
Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:
- a before a consonant sound
- az before a vowel sound
Since épület begins with the vowel é, the correct form is az épület.
Compare:
- az épület = the building
- a ház = the house
Épület is in the nominative singular, which is the basic dictionary form of the noun. There is no extra ending on it here.
So:
- épület = building
- az épület = the building
In this sentence, az épület is the subject.
Because jól is the adverb form, while jó is the adjective.
- jó = good
- jól = well
Here the word is modifying the verb látszik, so Hungarian uses the adverb:
- jól látszik = is clearly visible / can be seen well
If you said jó látszik, that would be incorrect.
