Questions & Answers about A rekesz kicsi, és a fényérzékenység nagy.

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 when you are saying something like X is Y.

So:

• A rekesz kicsi. = The aperture is small.
• A fényérzékenység nagy. = The light sensitivity is high.

If you wanted I am, you are, we are, etc., Hungarian normally does use forms of lenni:

• Kicsi vagyok. = I am small.
• Kicsi vagy. = You are small.

But in the present tense, third person singular/plural, it is usually omitted:

• ő kicsi = he/she is small
• ők kicsik = they are small

So the sentence is completely normal without van.

Why does the sentence start with A if the English meaning starts with the?
