"太贵了！"

Translation: Too expensive!

[MaxGonzale16]

Why the 了 here? I thought this would mean "it WAS too expensive."

[TellTheSeal]

In this case, 了 is used for emphasis, an emphatic particle.

[Imnuts7]

You can get rid of the 了which just makes it more colloquial.

What's the difference & when do we use each of

很 vs 非常 vs 太...了

?

[halobri]

I think 很(he3n)<太...了<非常(fe1icha2ng)

[Kittysdream]

Few examples before it was 太好了 and translation is very good. But here
太贵了 very is not acceptable anymore?

[PhilRushton]

This looks similar to Spanish, where 'demasiado' means 'too' or very' depending on the context. Also in Italian 'troppo' can be used in a similar way. 'Troppo buono' can mean 'very good' while 'troppo costoso' means 'too expensive'. Perhaps Mandarin functions in the same way here?

Just compare with English "You're too kind". Usually it's not meant to be taken literally, as a complaint about someone actually being too kind, but has more of a superlative meaning.

“Too good” doesn’t really exist, so 太好了 can only (metaphorically) mean “great”. Meanwhile too much of other quantities does exist.

[rs_taylor]

Very expensive!
Why not?

[Imnuts7]

非常贵
