"这个地方有太多人。"

Translation: There are too many people here.

[hougineer]

Translates literally to "this place has too many people." That should be accepted.

[StephanusG1]

Maybe it should be accepted but I don't suggest anyone say that if they want to sound natural.

[rcalhoun66]

I say it all the time, and I'm a native speaker.

[Harry599435]

Exactly. "There are too many people in this place" is very common. Plus, people need to understand learners' point of view. When you have just learnt the word for "place" it doesn't make any sense to omit it in the answer. It's a typical Duolingo problem. We end up spending wasting too much energy on guessing the English expression the program requires; even as native speakers.

where has the 了 gone？I assumed that 太 required a 了 at the end of the sentence? Or am I wrong?

[kuyaC]

I thought the same thing

"There are too many people in this place" would be a more accurate answer.

地方 means: place, area, space, room , territory, not "here".

[EATandNAP]

"There are too many people here" should also be accepted.

[roman2095]

It is now

[hippietrail]

Both "in this place" and "at this place" should be accepted.

[Cat722536]

Report for not accepting "this place has too many people" and "there are too many people at (in) this place"

[YvesPeraire]

<< there are too many people in this place> was ot accepted, why?

[Chris289620]

There's too many people here. Is and are are interchangeable in many circumstances. FFS!

[SchizoChee]

You can just say it's too crowded as well...

[alex977597]

'This place is too crowded' should be accepted

[FHqXhJ]

Is 这个地方人太多。 a correct way to say this, too? My Chinese contacts appear to use that construction frequently.

[DeeCahyadi]

Duoling = Google translate = literal translation

[hallojanelle]

This place has many people
