"There was too much sugar in these meals."

Translation: V těchto jídlech bylo příliš cukru.

[EinatAdar]

Is Bylo příliš cukru v těchto jídlech incorrect?

[JanLyko]

It is not incorrect and it is perfectly understandable. But I simply can not imagine the situation requiring such a word order. It sounds a bit like a Master Yoda quote.

[fehrerdef]

and "bylo to ..."?

[Chessnecof]

Although nevím příliš o červených vinech is correct

[VladaFu]

And also quite different.

[RianVanGijlswijk]

According to my czech friend there is a word missing: "too much" should be translated as "příliš hodně" or "příliš mnoho". Why are hodně and mnoho skipped in this sentence?

[VladaFu]

příliš hodně is something strang

příliš mnoho is fine

But just příliš is completely fine. It means too much here.

[judygunson]

Is there a rule or perhaps a norm in Czech that descriptors of place and time come before verbs?

[VladaFu]

They come at various places.
