Questions & Answers about Hol van a repülőtér, ahol mi parkolni fogunk?

Why do we say Hol van at the start of the sentence instead of placing van elsewhere?
In Hungarian, the question word typically appears at the beginning of the sentence, followed immediately by the verb. Here, Hol (meaning where) is at the front, and van (the verb to be) follows it, which helps emphasize the location being asked about.
Why is the word a (the definite article) used before repülőtér, and not left out?
Hungarian generally uses a definite article before specific nouns. Since repülőtér (airport) is a specific place in this context, a is used to denote that we’re talking about the airport, not just any airport.
What does the relative pronoun ahol do in this sentence?
Ahol introduces a relative clause referring to a location, similar to where in English. It connects the main clause (Hol van a repülőtér, meaning we’re looking for the airport’s location) with the detail of what happens at that location (parkolni fogunk, meaning we will park).
Why do we have mi before parkolni fogunk, even though fogunk already indicates we?
Hungarian conjugated verbs often imply the subject, so mi (meaning we) isn’t strictly necessary. However, adding mi can emphasize or clarify the subject, or it might be used for stylistic or stress reasons. In everyday speech, you might omit mi and just say parkolni fogunk without changing the meaning.
How does the future tense fog + infinitive work in parkolni fogunk?
Hungarian forms the future tense with fog followed by an infinitive. Here, parkolni is the infinitive form of to park, and fogunk is the conjugated fog for we. So parkolni fogunk means we will park.
