"맛있는 소고기는 많이 비싸요."

Translation: Delicious beef is very expensive.

[trashmunki]

I was under the impression 많이 was "many" and 너무 was "very", or are they interchangeable sometimes?

[wintertriangles]

너무 is "too"

많이 can be "very" sometimes when you translate it but in Korean it's normal to use it like this, just as you could use 아주 instead.

[josueetcom]

If you think about it, even in English something that is much expensive is also very expensive

[YakiEOn]

I wrote 'Tasty' for 맛있는 and I got it wrong, is it really ?

"The tasty beef is very expensive." is now accepted.

[Soccermom98]

Why the two 는 in this sentence and others?

[josueetcom]

맛있는 is verbal modifier (notice how it's attached to a verb not a noun). This means it describes the noun that follows, i.e. 맛있는 소고기 means "delicious beef" or "tasty beef". I suggest reviewing the tips and notes for the Modifiers 1 skill (accessible from the mobile/desktop website not the mobile app).

너무 would be better here instead of 많이 wouldn't it?

[Ash-Fred]

Delicious beef is too expensive.

[YutubPlzSu]
