a király elsőszámú építészévé, mérnökévé és festőjévé

[Chimenseena]

Hello,
I would just like to check the translation of this sentence: "The king named him King's prime painter, engineer and architect."

Here is the translation: "Franciaország királya kinevezte "a király elsőszámú építészévé, mérnökévé és festőjévé".

Can you tell me if the two selected words are correct?

Thank you for your help!

It seems to be correct (except that the first two words in English in bold are the last two words in Hungarian)
-- Olivier

I suspect that your comment in brackets are probably more important than that, Olivier.

painter = festő
engineer = mérnök
architect = építész

(The suffixes added in the sentence are correct.)

Thank you very much! I am learning every day!

Hello!

I'm re-reading this thread and now I've a question: "kineveztek fönök" (according to the explanation of this thread) and "kineveztek fönöknek" have the same meaning?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
"Kineveztek főnök" is incorrect.

The two possible options are:
1) "kineveztek főnöknek" - more colloquial, more common in everyday language
2) "kineveztek főnökké" - more literary (in my opinion)

Köszönöm, nem láttam ez a "-vé" a peldákban!
Akkar, "fönöknek" meg "fönöké".
Szuper!

 

[AndrasBP]

Akkar,

akkor

"fönöké"

főnökké (főnök + vé)
