"Det er altfor tidlig."

Translation: It is far too early.

[TomasNovot5]

Why I can´t translate this "It is too early" ? Far too eraly sounds rare to me......but I am not native speaker

[Deliciae]

for = too
altfor = far/way/much/all too

[Ethan__Cox]

"Far too early" is fine and heard all the time in British English.

How to differentiate between the sound of de and det?

[grydolva]

De (they) = dee (as when you say the letter D, which rhymes with sea)

Det (it) = de' (like pronuncing only "de" of detriment)

Thanks Gry! I for some reason started out thinking i had heard 'de' as /dei/ but very short and the vowel clipped, but the past couple days have been hearing /di/ as you just explained.. wasnt sure if i was going crazy!
