"A fogkrémek az asztalon vannak."

Translation: The tubes of toothpaste are on the table.

[Rachelle73965]

Shouldn't the English translation be "The toothpastes are on the table"? I did submit a report.

[fiderallala]

Toothpaste, like most fluids, is a non-countable noun in English.

In fact, I think the most natural translation would be "The toothpaste is on the table" (regardless of how many tubes were there), but this translation makes the Hungarian meaning clearer.

[weitzhandler]

The toothpaste tubes are on the table, which makes much more sense, is not accepted. Reported.

[Judit294350]

Not really - this would suggest (in English) that the tubes for the toothpaste - but without any toothpaste in them - are on the table.

The tubes of toothpaste?

[InaraCouto]

Why not "the toothpaste tubes are on the table?"
