Translation: There are a lot of people.

Why is "there are many people" incorrect

[monogusrud]

사람이 많다.(Just say real/situation)
사람이 많습니다.(존댓말Honorific)
사람들이 많다.
사람들이 많습니다.(Honorific)
많은 사람이 있다
많은 사람들이 있습니다.(Honorific)
☞There are a lot of people.

In conversation 사람 많다 might be heard, but to be grammatically correct you need either a subject postposition (이) or a topic postposition (은). 많이 is an adverb, not an adjective, so would not be used to modify a noun. The adjectival form of 많다 is 많은. It would not be incorrect to say,

많은 사람이 있다 (note the addition of the subject postposition), but it is more common to use the adjective at the end the same way verbs are used.

"The people are many" ... I know how to speak English. Why does Duo insist on correcting my English grammar? There are no articles in Korean, so why should my translation include them? The grading program should just ignore them ....

[hyosungmun]

there are would be "있어요" so I don't get how i'm wrong but whatever

[Stella11209]

Same :( what's the difference?

[hippietrail]

I just got this wrong and was told a correct answer was "The people are many". But that's way too old-fashioned English. It might even seem ungrammatical to some people.

Why is "people are many" when there aren't even articles in Korean?

[XLtb1wp5]

In "많" How come I don't heat the "H" sound?

[ThisIsMeNotYou]

it's not said

This comment is a year old but for anyone else looking for help with this, here's an article that explains the batchim rules (batchim or 받침 is the final consonant position in a Korean syllable, the third one or bottom one):

About halfway down they explain the double consonant rules.
