If you translate literally, you're right and it's ok to say that, just a little more usual with singular form, because Hungarian often uses singular in indefinite conjugations. These are almost set phrases: to cut trees = fát vágni to wash hands = kezet mosni to drink beers = sört inni
------- hunkies treat pairs of things, like eyes, ears, hands, feet, shoes, as if they were one, as if they are the singular.
english does the reverse in a few things: chief among which is pants . . .

Because the article "the" can be left out in this case at the English translation, whereas we should use the Hungarian article "az".
You can also omit the article "az" in the Hungarian sentence. It will become more of a general statement, a habitual action. (Which it should be anyway :) ).
