Usage notes

The singular form Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) can mean either a pair of shoes or one shoe out of a pair, while the plural cipők is used for more than one pair. To better distinguish between these, expressions like fél pár cipő (“half a pair of shoes”) can be used. The same also holds true for other clothing items and accessories that come in pairs, such as kesztyű (“gloves”), zokni (“socks”), fülbevaló (“earrings”), etc.
