"Too bad, you are a little too young."

Translation: Malheureusement, vous êtes un petit peu trop jeunes.

[jaimepapier]

"Tant pis" should be accepted, this is by far the most obvious translation.

I think it is correct to write "C'est dommage" as well as "Dommage"

[Anthraxite]

True

[cdonline00]

is 'trop mauvais' ever used in French?

[marybuck100]

I tried trop mauvais after looking at the dropdown hints and it was marked wrong.

[marybuck100]

Dommage does not appear in the dropdown at all. Very unhelpful.

looks like someone has to wait till he/she is 18!

[M.T.Hazard]

I wonder why people are down-voting this comment; there's nothing inherently wrong or inappropriate about it. This example could be referring to a young adult waiting to gain access to an age dependent trust fund, or perhaps waiting to be old enough to legally purchase and imbibe alcoholic beverages. Maybe someone just wants to be legally considered an adult! Context is everything. Sort of.

[shotz87]

shouldn't it have been "jeunes' for the sentence using vous?

[mhaaz]

If I understand correctly (I might not), vous can refer to many people, as you suggest, but also to just one (it's the "formal" version of you). In that case, you wouldn't need the extra s at the end of adjectives.

[AfricanGreyAL]

"Vous" can be singular or plural. So use "jeune" for singular you and "jeunes" for plural you.

[lkt005]

I agree, "C'est dommage" should be accepted too

[ricflair2]

Why was "tant pis" counted wrong?

[Wonderboy6]

Is peu and petit peu synonymous

[BrotherDennis]

My understanding is that "peu" means "little", but "petit peu" means "very little". So, no, not synonymous.

[CJ.Dennis]

"peu" means "a little" or "a bit" and "petit peu" means "a little bit"! I'll leave it to you to decide if they're synonymous or not! I just had to mark both as correct in a multiple choice question (MCQ).

Trop mal?

[Pisan_de_Paris]

No, sorry. "Mal" is an adverb, translated as "badly", so that doesn't work grammatically. But you really can't even say "trop mauvais", even though the individual words mean "too" and "bad", because the French idiom is different. I would take "Tant pis", "Dommage" or "C'est dommage", which are equivalent expressions in French. Not everything can be translated literally.

[MikeCaffyn]

Can anyone tell us why the most common translation 'tant pis' is not accepted?

[MikeCaffyn]

Fully agree - tant pis is the most common and surely most accurate translation.
