"Kezdesz mosogatni?"

Translation: Are you starting to do the dishes?

[deactivated user]

The current English translation is very awkward. Something like "Are you starting to wash up?" or "Are you starting to wash the dishes?" would be more natural, and a more consistent use of mosogatni based on previous examples' uses.

Looks like they've fixed those now. Way to go Hungarian team!

To do the washing up is a British English phrase equivalent (as far as I'm aware) to the American English phrase to do the dishes.

[Aryk_Aul]

Latvian : mazgāt = to wash. Russian : мызгать ( popular) = to rub, замызганный (adjective)= rubbed, worn out, dirty by the action of rubbing, - about clothes or things.

Anybody else having a hard time hearing the "mo" in "mosogatni"?

[athelgast]

Yes. To my ear, it is "Kezdeszen sogatni"

[AnetaJF]

I have the same problem...

[sari931597]

Yes

[MrtonPolgr]

The first "o" doesn't sound very articulated, it sounds very closed to me. The rhythm and the rest of phonemes sound okay.

[AndyDuoHungarian]

Is there anything wrong with "Have you started washing the dishes?"

[MrtonPolgr]

It implies that, well, it has been started. Something happened in the past, sometime. The Hungarian sentence doesn't suggest anything about the past, it's about right now. Your sentence would be like "Elkezdtél (már) mosogatni?"

[Richard604037]

I came here to see if others had trouble hearing the words so it isn't just me. Kezdesz is very unclear.

[Jay709846]

Yes mom!!!!!!

Why is 'are you starting to wash the dishes' wrong
