"Milyen sportolók ők?"

Translation: What kind of athletes are they?

[tubaeuphalex]

For "milyen" do you have to guess based on context whether it means "What are they like?" and "What kind of ... are they?"

[Liggliluff]

Milyen sportolók ők = what kind of athletes are they

Milyenek a sportolók = what are athletes like

Basing of the previous lessons I've had

[Ishana92]

I really miss the slowed down speech.

[Martybet]

'Milyen' why do we have to keep second guessing whether they want 'kind or kind/s in the answer? I wish there could be some consistency here.

[Heroldnak]

I believe 'coz "kinds" would be "Milyenek"?!

[vvsey]

Actually, it will always be "milyen" when it modifies (stands before) a noun.

[Martybet]

Oh were it that straight forward Heroldnek, unfortunately with Duo it never is :( Milyen can be translated as kind or kinds depending on how they are feeling on the day.

[VictorFico1]

sportsmen is wrong?!

[Findil]

Report it

[TeresaMari890533]

Maybe it isn't politically correct? The word 'athletes' is gender-neutral.

[Margaret731267]

How do you know when "milyen" means "what are they like" vs "what kind are they?"

[BlaVezendi]

Why is wrong "the sportpeople"?

[Martybet]

Perhaps it's because it should be 'sportSpeople'

[KISSAMOS]

If you listen carefully you can actually hear, Mi es sportolok ök.
Can you articulate well when you speak, please?
