"Nincsenek jó műsorok a televízióban."

Translation: There aren't any good shows on television.

[Arcaeca]

"show" should be accepted along with "program" for műsor.

[GerSzej]

The whole section is concerned with "in". Even the indication given for televisióban is "in the television" (I checked). Obviously the correct English translation here is "on TV", but this sentence seems to be once more a "tricky" question. By the way the normal way to say it in English is "on TV" and not "on the TV"

[vvsey]

"TV" is "tv" in Hungarian. Or "tévé". That's how you pronounce it: "tévé".

[birdfishy]

In my native Scotland, "on the TV" is acceptable. I think this is the influence of the Scottish Gaelic language.

[ataltane]

It's totally fine to say either 'on tv' or 'on the tv'. It's possible that only the first form is used in your region.

[woarrend]

Very true.

Try PBS if in USA.

I dont understand why show doesnt work. I am a native hungarian speaker (i was born in Buda) and was trying this out to see how good their hungarian is. "There aren't any good shows on TV" is what I put as my translation, and it was wrong.

[RyagonIV]

Please report it. It's good~

[Torre627886]

Why isn't it “jók“ in this case, if even “nincsenek“ is plural?

[RyagonIV]

Jó is the adjective to műsorok, so it has to stay singular. Nincsenek is a verb.

[CHItravelRN]

Adjectives preceding the noun are always in singular form

English translation is awkward
