"The shampoos are next to toothpastes."

Translation: A samponok a fogkrémek mellett vannak.

[MarcFabrega]

what about "a samponok a fogkrémeknél vannak" ?

[O_Matty]

Why the "vannak"? What makes it so necessary in this sentence?

[vvsey]

It is about a location (where the subject is), not describing the subject. So, "vannak" is not omitted.

[anton_t13]

Why "toothpastes" (without "the") should be translated as "A fogkrémek"?

[EsjaL]

There is a definite article missing in the English sentence. I report it here because the 'report'; button does not provide an option to say 'The English sentence is incorrect'.
