Valahol
Valahol
Meaning:
somewhere (static)
Note there are two words for somewhere in Hungarian: a static and a dynamic version (valahol & valahova). We use the static version when we don’t want to indicate movement (e.g. I’m standing somewhere. – Állok valahol.) and the dynamic version when we want to express movement (e.g. I’m going somewhere. – Megyek valahova.)
Example sentences:
