The word for chimney is 'kémény' with accents over both the 'e's. 'Kemény' with only one accent means hard.
Hovering over kemények only shows "tough" whereas "hard" is the correct answer
Yes, it should be corrected. "Kemény" can be "tough" (a tough guy) or "hard" (as opposed to soft). But "hard" (difficult) is "nehéz" (as opposed to "könnyű" - "easy"). But "nehéz" is also "heavy" (in weight). And "könnyű" is also "light" (in weight). But "light" is also what comes from the Sun: "fény". I better stop now.
But it follows nincsenek which (in my addled mind) establishes the plural already. Where am I going wrong?
Because originally "kemény párnák" are shortly "kemények", like "hard ones".
"On that bed none of the pillows are soft, only hard." This should be an acceptable translation too, shouldn't it?
