"We don't have weak people; we are all very strong"

Translation: У нас нет слабых, мы все очень сильные

[an_alias]

Is there a reason why "people" is omitted in the Russian? Just a style choice?

[BillEverett]

This is similar to a very, very common structure in Russian. That is, the noun common to two (or more) contrasting adjectives is most often emitted in the subsequent part(s) of a comparison or contrast. In this particular instance, the first noun "people" is implicit in the pronoun "we".

By the way, the "we" in this sentence must be inhabitants of Lake Wobegon, "where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Wobegon#Standard_monologue_items)

Yes, "people" is implied from the second part of the sentence.

What is actually WRONG with слабых людей here? Is it an actual error to not leave it to be implied?

[YkeA6]

I'm going to beat you!

[bozidar.skrbic]

Здесь для слабых места нет

[Star691312]

Но я слабая

У нас нет слабых людей, мы все очень сильные.

[MaxFromUkraine]

Сильное заявление.

[CliveYoung5]

Would it be wrong to invlude "people" in the sentence?

[hedi76]

I included "people" and it was accepted.

[Grace624426]

Да, мы такие!!

[Dejo]

Would the plural of человек work here?

[Greggy36]

"We haven't the/(any) weak, we're all very strong."

[gabchan]

У нас нет слабых покемонов, мы все очень сильные покемоны!

[redbluerat]

Shouldn't we use a reflexive here (свои?) instead of the second "мы"?
