"A török óvónők Törökországba repülnek."

Translation: The Turkish kindergarten teachers are flying to Turkey.

[belstar128]

Oh ok i thought only Hungarian kindergarten teachers could fly

[sImQfWat]

Plot twist: The flying kindergarten teachers were Turkish all along.

[Random_pleb]

Well it would all make sense, they're just turkeys

[King86139]

It's funny how no one would think that they possibly flew by plane xD

[LRLARG]

Now what would be the fun in that?))) To be fair there are a few sentences about them and some are harder to interpret that way, some sound purposefully odd either way))

Can someone explain for me please: for the translation "flying to Turkey" why do we use "törökországba" and not "Törökországra"? Thanks! :)

[vvsey]

For country names ending in "ország", we use "-ba", except for Hungary, where we use "-ra". That is just how it is.

Is the definite article really necessary here?

[LRLARG]

In Hungarian it is, in English - not really, well, depends on the context

[HaukurJonasson]

I got incorrect for not including the definite article in my translation. I understood that Hungarian sentences on the form "A(z) [plural noun phrase] [verb phrase]" could be translated with or without a definite article, like "a medvék barnák" can mean "the bears are brown" or "bears are brown". Is there something I'm missing here, or is this an error in duolingo?

[TivadarTor]

Fly or are flying?....No matter what?

[pYewR9MH]

My experience is that Duo is in love with the -ing forms - no matter how ridiculous it sounds to an English speaker. So my advice is: always use the ing-form no matter what.

[HaukurJonasson]

Hungarian doesn't distinguish between present and present continuous, so both forms should always be correct when translating I think.
