"这里太热了！"

Translation: It is too hot here!

[dagummace]

What's the purpose of 了here?

[nestorhgreen]

It's just the way structures like "it's too + adjective" are said in Mandarin: 太+adj+了，no big deal

[Imnuts7]

It's fine without 了, it just becomes more colloquial that way.

[Padi_Evans]

Are you sure? I heard it's incorrect to ommit the 了

[Kawcaba]

Thanks

What about "It is so hot here"?

[Imnuts7]

'so' is closer to 'very'/非常than 'too'/太

[RixMorales]

And yet 你的狗太可爱了！was translated as "your dog is SO cute!" How can they be differentiated?

[PatrickTrentin88]

The answer

It's so hot here!

should also be accepted.

It should be noted that 太 + ... + 了 translates to both 'too' and 'so'. Usually, it translates to 'too' when '...' has a negative meaning and to 'so' when '...' has a positive meaning. As it is extensively illustrated here.

In this sentence, which is taken out of context, it is completely ambiguous on whether or not 熱 has a negative meaning for the speaker.

My answer "this place is too hot" is a more accurate translation and was not accepted.

[CinJinMaanJyu]

這裡=here
這[個]地方=this place

[RixMorales]

Why is "it's so hot here!" not accepted? It basically means the same (and has the same context). Sometimes Duolingo is SO confusing

[OliverHees1]

What about "Here is too hot!"?

[Imnuts7]

You wouldn't normally say that in English.

[Lomochibi]

'It's so hot here' is a more accurate (colloquial) English translation if the sentence stands alone.

[SurplusUser]

it is 'very' hot here

"This place is too hot" should also be an accepted answer. It may not be a direct translation, but it accurately conveys the meaning of the text.

[Patrick_Dark]

I agree. It's still not accepted, so I reported it.
