"Egy kígyó van a bakancsban!"

Translation: There is a snake in the boot!

[Petar-J]

The is a Toy Story reference? (Woody saying this when the string is pulled)

[adam11151]

Is bakancs an irregular plural or does it refer to one single pair of boots?

[_paranoia_]

In general, things like (pairs of) pants and shoes and boots are singular in Hungarian. Multiple pairs are of course plural.

[AGreatUserName]

If you think about it though, the snake is probably only in one of the boots ... not a hat it would make any difference to the Hungarian sentence.

[_paranoia_]

I think you could say something like "egy kígyó van a félbakancsban" in this circumstance. But there are folks who are more expert than I.

[brad67391]

Even if bakancs always implies a pair of boots in Hungarian, the correct translation into English would be "boot."

[_paranoia_]

Well, "pair of boots" would also be completely ok, and "boots" is good enough that it should be accepted.

[timothy.ra2]

A snake can only be in one boot at a time.

[Don6740]

That depends on the length of the snake!

[Joachim734726]

In English there is no difference between: there is a snake in the boot and a snake is in the boot. Please correct your program!
