"A nőkön nem póló van, hanem ing."

Translation: The women are not wearing T-shirts, but shirts.

[GerSzej]

I believe it is correct in English to say that the women are not wearing a t-shirt but a shirt. (using the singular). Each of them is wearing one shirt only.

[_paranoia_]

Although each woman is wearing only one shirt, there's more than one of each overall. The plural is definitely required on t-shirts and shirts in English.

This course is not about learning English, though. If it should work for non-native speakers as well, marking tiny and very common mistakes in the English part is not a good idea.

[PapaKarlo3]

The women are not wearing a t-shirt but a shirt.

[Werrettich]

Ing refers mostly to a dress shirt as far as I know.

[O_Matty]

We haven't seen a quantity for the t-shirts and shirts, so why are they written in the singular?

[mizinamo]

Because each of them is just wearing one.

[Kinga48]

"The women do not wear T-shirts but blouses" solution was rejected. Why?

[RyagonIV]

Wouldn't blúz be a better word here?

[nospooon]

póló shoud also be translated as sweater, in other sentences it is. But not here. Logic?

[_paranoia_]

Póló is t-shirt. You're confusing with pulóver, which is sweater (or pullover :-) ).

[vvsey]

And a long-sleeve t-shirt is "hosszú ujjú póló".

[FerEtayoRguez]

What about polo shirts? Isn't it where the word comes from?

[RyagonIV]

Polo shirts specifically would be just that, pólóing. :)

[ray0917]

Blouses=női ingek azaz (or) blúzok tehát nem ingek hanem "blúzok" sorry but it is the hungarian true

[LadyInque]

It wouldn't accept tee shirts. Seriously, there are so many ways to write this in English.

[Julia459530]

I'm rather confused about the hungarian sentence. Why isn't it "A nők nem pólóban vannak, hanem ingben"?

[FerEtayoRguez]

As far as I know you can use both constructions; 'people are in clothes' or 'clothes are on people'.

[AmyHenwood]

Its is defiantly correct to pulalise what the women are wearing. Otherwise it sounds like they're all squeezed into the one shirt...

[RyagonIV]

Are you talking about English or Hungarian? In Hungarian that wouldn't be the case.

[1158534388]

Kérem, valaki magyarázza el, hogy mi a különbség a "visel" és a "van rajta" között! De ne angolul! Nem tudom melyiket használjam.

[Arpad737071]

"van rajta" => "most/pillanatnyilag magán hord valamit";
"visel" => "szokásszerűen/általában magán hord valamit"

"van rajta" => "(to) have something on oneself in the moment";
"visel" => "(to) have something on oneself regularly, wearing something"

[samulangs]

alternatively: van rajta - to be wearing. visel - to wear (usually)

[StephenCow4]

I wll ask my hungarian barber

[Mark1504]

So, remind me what the hungarian word for "wearing" is.

[RyagonIV]

Hungarian verbs that mean "to wear" are visel and hord, but they are rather used to express what you usually wear. If you want to talk about what you currently have on, you'll mostly use a "[person] is in [clothing]" or "[clothing] is on [person]" construction.

[MrrzyV]

Ok nuance question - a nőkön nincs póló would be The women have no tshirts on, but the nem ... van construction means they are not wearing tshirts? Thanks.
