Practice ExercisesUses itt/ott with motion verbs (e.g. *Gyere itt! instead of Gyere ide!)
With motion verbs (jön, megy, küld): use ide (to here) / oda (to there). Save itt/ott for static position (where something IS).
Confuses innen (from here) with ide (to here)
Question test: Hová? (Where to?) → ide/oda. Honnan? (Where from?) → innen/onnan. Hol? (Where?) → itt/ott.
Gyere ide, itt van a táskád!
Come here, your bag is here!
ide = to here (direction); itt = here (static location). Two different words for two situations.
Innen balra, aztán egyenesen.
Left from here, then straight ahead.
innen = from here (source). Used for starting point of directions.
Ott ül a professzor, menj oda!
The professor is sitting there, go there!
ott = there (static); oda = to there (direction). Same place, different relationship.
