"The Universe is really big."

Translation: Wszechświat jest naprawdę duży.

[smartpupa]

it wouldn't take bardzo (wszechświat jest bardzo duży), I can't understand why.

[Jellei]

Well, we usually accept "really" for "bardzo", so I guess it should be accepted the other way round. Added now.

I haven't tried entering it yet, but would "The Universe is truly big" be a possible translation?

[Jellei]

I think that yes, although wouldn't it be a bit different in the shade of meaning? Like 'really big' is kinda like 'very big', but 'truly big' is like 'big indeed'?

[sirwootalot]

They're more or less interchangeable, but truly/indeed could sound weird and off in some contexts.

[Jellei]

I checked, it is accepted.

[rchonak]

Could "Wszechświat to naprawdę duży" be correct, even if it seems somewhat casual?

[alik1989]

No, that would be wrong. 'X to Y' only works with nouns on both sides.

[ArmasRyy]

Why is "Wszechświat naprawdę jest duży" wrong?

[Jellei]

It means the same as "The Universe really is big" (as in "Woah, you're right, it really is big. I was wrong.").

Our sentence is almost the same as "The Universe is very big".

Rzeczywiście...

[Jellei]

I feel that for "rzeczywiście" to be correct, it would need to be "really is big". "is really big" means basically the same as "is very big".
