"The cooks are men."

Translation: A szakácsok férfiak.

[croyle16669]

Is the plural form of férfi a vowel harmony exception? Or is there something I didn't understand about vowel harmony?

[Findil]

I'm not sure about this, and couldn't find any resources, but it might have something to do with alternative or archaic spellings of férfi. In literature it's sometimes spelled as férfiú, so I guess it's similar to how fiú = boy becomes fiam = my son.

I'm sure about this, and you're absolutely right. :'D

[Findil]

Nice, thanks for the confirmation. :D

What's with "A szakácsok férfiak vannak." ? Correct / wrong or different meaning?

[MrtonPolgr]

It's wrong, this type of sentences doesn't contain "van" or "vannak".
