"산 속에 있는 호수는 상당히 깊어요."

Translation: The lake in the mountains is considerably deep.

I had typed the word "quite," but then I checked the hover hints, which say, "considerably, greatly." I changed the word to "considerably," and the program said it was wrong and was supposed to be "quite." I will report that the hover answers are incorrect here. April 1, 2020. (No, I am not trying to do an April Fool's Day joke.)

"The lake in the mountains is considerably deep." is now accepted and the primary translation for consistency.

Thank you!

"The lake in the mountains is considerably deep" is not correct english. "considerably" is used in comparisons: "the lake in the mountains is considerably deeper" is correct sentence. especially, notably, particularly, quite, very, rather, really would all be OK translations if 상당히 is a generic intensifier

Very good point.

"Considerably" is a quantifier for comparatives (verbs and adverbs).

I guess to use 상당히 as considerably/significantly, the Kor sentence needs to change slightly, e.g.

산 속에 있는 호수는 "이전보다" 상당히 깊어요 = The lake in the mountains is considerably deeper "than before".

Or

산 속에 있는 호수는 상당히 깊어졌습니다. The lake in the mountains has "deepened" considerably. (To deepen/become deeper -> comparative verb)

As it stands 상당히 = quite, fairly, pretty, etc.. as you said.

The English translation here is quite awkward. I am not sure but is mountain and mountains the same in both plural and singular form? If it's only one then the preposition should be on I believe. If the Korean is talking about multiple mountains then the Korean should be different and that therefore changes the preposition to in instead of on.

I disagree, this translation is hpw you svkuld think of phrases in korean. Sure its not great in english but this isnt supposed to be for english only dpeaking people

[josueetcom]

속 means "inside/within" not "on" so it's definitely "mountains" as we say "in the mountains" rather than "in the mountain"

[DarthAusten]

I don't think "quite" should be the only word accepted here, especially since the hover hints say the word means other things too. If I were saying this in English I would use "fairly" and "quite" interchangeably.

[Ash-Fred]

Currently "considerably", "fairly", "rather", and "quite" are accepted.

Thanks

[Charles825863]

상당히 should translate to considerably imo

[hallojanelle]

The lake is quite deep in the mountains. My answer should be accepted!

[Kiyomice]

Your sentence means something else. Your sentence means that the lake itself is far(deep) into the mountains. But Duolingo's sentence is saying that the lake itself is deep (as in, its water is deep).

[Staffan431948]

Something's wrong here. I wrote the correct answer and it was not accepted. I checked it syllable by syllable several times, and it really is the correct answer.

[Komerinam]

"Pretty" is better than quite.

[Huzeffa]

Is 있는 necessary here?

[Pamela909830]

Yes. The sentence really means "The lake that is in the mountains is quite deep."
있는 is the part that means "IS" in the mountains.
