"Many students are studying in the Hungarian schools."

Translation: A magyar iskolákban sok diák tanul.

[Daniel640094]

Does, "Sok diák a magyar iskolákban tanul." work, or is it incorrect?

[vvsey]

It is correct but the emphasis is different.

"A magyar iskolákban sok diák tanul." - emphasis on "sok diák" - many students

"Sok diák a magyar iskolákban tanul." - emphasis on "a magyar iskolákban" - in the Hungarian schools

[NatalyKief]

Why the translation is a singular student ( diák) while the english sentence is about the plural ( students) ?

[Judit294350]

Because "sok" is a number word and in Hungarian number words always take the singular.

[ACHale1114]

Why are we using tanul instead of tanulnak

[PierrePoutine]

As of today, 23 March 2020, this is not true.
