FÜGGŐ BESZÉD Reported/Indirect Speech

FÜGGŐ BESZÉD Reported/Indirect Speech A függő beszéd azt jelenti, hogy valakinek a szavait tolmácsoljuk, de nem szó szerint, hanem tárgyi mellékmondattal (Azt mondja, hogy ; Azt mondta, hogy ). ÁLTALÁNOS SZABÁLYOK Értelmi egyeztetés (csakúgy, mint a magyarban) A mellékmondatban a mutató névmások és személyes névmások értelemszerűen megváltoznak az eredetileg mondottakhoz képest. Ez az értelmi változás függ attól, hogy a) kiről szól az, amit valaki mondott pl. Az eredeti kijelentés: Lusta vagy. ( You are lazy. ) Tolmácsolva: Azt mondja (rólam), hogy lusta vagyok. (He says (about me) that I am lazy.) Azt mondja (rólad), hogy lusta vagy. (He says (about you) that you are lazy.) Azt mondja (róla), hogy lusta. (He says (about her) that she is lazy.) b) ki az, akinek a szavait tolmácsoljuk pl. Az eredeti kijelentés: Lusta vagyok. ( I am lazy. ) Tolmácsolva: Azt mondom, hogy lusta vagyok. (I say that I am lazy.) Azt mondod hogy lusta vagy. (You say that you are lazy. ) Azt mondja, hogy lusta. (He says that he is lazy. ) Backshift (Ilyen nincs a magyarban!) Általában, ha a főmondatban a bevezető ige múlt időben áll (Azt mondta, Azt kérdezte stb.), a mellékmondatban szereplő igék, modális segédigék, mutató névmások és időhatározók az eredetihez képest visszalépnek (pl. az adott igeidő helyett egy előtte lévő igeidőt használnak). Ezt nevezzük backshift -nek. pl. Az eredeti kijelentés: - Iskolába járok. (jelen idő) I go to school. (jelen idő) Tolmácsolva: Joe azt mondta, hogy iskolába jár. az igeidő marad jelen Joe said that he went to school. az igeidő átvált múltra
