The "correct" translation is, semantically speaking, word-for-word most correct. However, a more practical translation, like you might see in Netflix subtitles, would be something like "There are way more big trees in the park."
Can someone explain what the translation means please? Is this a comparison?
Either this is sentence is a proverb or the person talking is saying that the park has more trees than the other parks that he has visited; so, correct, the latter is basically a comparison.
It is a comparison to trees in this park with more trees that are bigger than trees in other parks or other places.
They took the answer, "there are by far more big trees at the park". Feels like this made more sense.
I hope they remove this sentence, or change it a bit to something that makes a bit more sense.
I think they should’ve put, “In the park, there are MANY more big trees by far” or something because the way they worded it, I thought they’re talking about existence so I used 있어요 instead of 많아요.
This sentence is extremely confusing to people yes, but if you think about it, let’s say you’re talking about where big trees can found. Your friend says “Oh, the neighborhood has a lot of big trees.” Another friend says “The school has a lot of big trees too.” Then you say “In the park, there are many more trees by far.”, meaning that the park has more trees out of all the places your friends had said, if that makes sense.
I think "There are many more big trees in the park by far" could be pretty good English.
can someone explaye why "at the park" is not excepted, when its in the hints?
This course really seems to be lacking when in comes to including acceptable translations.
Duo doesn't understand that in English, "at" and "in" can be used interchangeably, for example, in the park vs at the park.
Ooops, I opted for "tall tree" and got an "incorrect". Doesn't that work as well?
Why isn't trees plural in Korean if it is in English? Trees is not 나무들 here. Is this right?

Pluralising words is optional in Korean. They tend to rely on context a lot. 들 is only used if the speaker/writer feels the need to specify, for some reason, that there's more than one of the thing.

Number.
There are much bigger trees (size) = 훨씬 (더) 큰 나무들이 있다 => 큰 (big) is an adjective so the use of "더" is optional.
Yes it is a comparison to an object that is not mentioned therefore 보다 is not included.

It means there are more of them. "More big" would be a nonstandard way to say "bigger," so it's extremely unlikely to be what was intended.
Could this not be translated as "there are far more larger trees in the park"?
Word by word translations no matter how many times repeated, if the resulting sentence makes no sense because of the grammar, the meaning gets lost and it's annoying to relearn a languag to end up speaking none. No matter how much of an expert you're at learning theories or research you can't do this. It doesn't work for no one (yes that double negative was on purpose)...People ends translating instead if understanding....
