"There is no restaurant here."

Translation: Itt nincs étterem.

[RobertEddy]

What's the difference between an étterem and a vendéglő?

[guntunge]

Hungarian / German / English

etterem / Restaurant / restaurant
vendeglo / Gasthaus-Gaststätte / ~inn

The differences are blurry. Maybe more blurry than restaurant-inn?

I think etterem + hotel, vendeglo + panzio are the terms for places that offer food and lodging.

Some places are called csarda and those should serve traditional Hungarian dishes and have tons of paprika hanging all over the place.

When do you use "nincs" versus "ez nem"?

[bdori]

"Ez" means "this", so "ez nem" means "this is not":
Ez nem étterem. = This is not a restaurant.

[Ishana92]

how about itt nem vs itt nincs?

[bdori]

"nem" is always before the negated word.

Itt nem étterem van (hanem mozi). = There is not a restaurant here (but a cinema). - the restaurant is negated

Az étterem nem itt van (hanem máshol). = The restaurant is not here (but somewhere else). - here is negated

Itt nincs étterem. = There is no restaurant here. (Literally: Here is not restaurant.) - the verb is is negated

(I'm not sure if my English translations are correct and show the differences. Native speakers?)

[Liggliluff]

nincs is used in place of nem van, so it might be easier to explain that is the "van" that's negated by "nem", and that becomes a new word.

[Findil]

nincs substitutes "nem van"

In the positive sentence "Ez egy étterem", van is omitted, so it can't become "nem van" when negated, consequently you don't use nincs.

I dont know what a vendéglő is. First time ive encountered it in this lesson and I'm on my like 5th refresher

[Martybet]

'nincs itt étterem' ....can anyone tell me what would be wrong with this interpretation? Thank you

[Findil]

Nothing, it's correct. :)

[Martybet]

Thank you Sham

I can't find "étterem" in the list of words to choose for this sentence, only "vendéglő". What's that?

[EmaZim]

Why is incorrect to use "ott" for english "there" in this sentence?

[MrtonPolgr]

"There is" is a phrase here, meaning something like "exists"

[Suzanna782918]

There is a glitch --- none of the choices are accepted as correct

[stuart.hol2]

Samd as pingo.il, I didn't have etterem in my list, a word I recognise from visiting Budapest but not the other one. Had to guess (and got it wrong).
