"A magyar politikusoknak sincs gerincük."

Translation: Hungarian politicians do not have a spine, either.

[gwe1980]

It's absolutely true. :)

[clairelanc3]

Isn't it rather "backbone"?

[SzabCsaba9]

Na ez így van, igaz Viktor?!. :)

I see : the hungarian politicians' there is none spines Where does "either" come in? I am missing it!!!

[jzsuzsi]

That comes from "sincs".

If it were nincs: .... nincs gerincük. they have no spine

... sincs gerincük. they have no spine either.

Someone explained it at some another sentence: it is like "sem" is the child of is+nem, and sincs is the child of is+nincs.

So here is the family tree:
nincs = nem+van
sem = is+nem
sincs = is+nincs = is+nem+van

[kototamopevaaa]

In Serbia it's even worse

[Hubinou]

I guess it is a colloquial expression. Does it mean that they are very "flexible"

[Wazav94]

Similar but more harsh. They do not have honor, they are sneaky and hypocritical.

French ones haven't either... especially our president.
