"说比做容易。"

Translation: It's easier said than done.

[NasuSamaruk0]

談何容易 is the idiom that best fits the meaning. ;)

[clarevoyance]

谈何容易 in simplified Chinese

I'm not sure if it's too late for this suggestion, but it would be cool if Duolingo had some lessons on some of the more common chengyu expressions. (p.s. I haven't finished the tree yet, so forgive me if the course actually does teach us those expressions, and I just haven't gotten to them yet)

Unfortunately it doesn't. Or fortunately, at least for now; given how alternative translations are handled, I'd think they've got more than enough on their plate now.

No, 谈何容易means very difficult, almost impossible. 知易行难is a close chengyu, it means it is easier to think/understand than to do. It is easier said than done means 说易行难

another common way to say this is: 说起来容易做起来难。shuo1 qi3 lai rong2 yi4 zuo4 qi3 lai nan2.

[Ree413612]

For those interested: we have seen 起来 in 看起来, which means "to look" (in the sense of appearance), but it can also be used as a marker for a beginning action (like as an opposite of 过). So this talks about starting to do something.

[kalexchu]

I've also heard it as 说得容易做得难.

[BarAdal3]

Wow, that's quite a mouthful though, don't you think :D

[andilaoshi]

"That is easier said than done" should also work.

[faifuu]

Saying is easier than doing

[hidetouk]

"Saying is easier than doing" is accepted

[Brettah31]

Does this phrase carry the same meaning and style? Doesnt feel like it.
