"He suddenly has an important meeting today, so he cannot come."

Translation: 他今天突然有重要的会议，所以不能来。

[ImamSuhada1]

Why
突然他今天有重要的会议所以不能来。
Is marked as error?
It should still be accepted.

[jjprvt]

突然 at the begiinning of this particular sentence feels bizarre. I would guess that if the verb is 有 then 突然 cannot be at the beginning.

[KX3.]

Yes, it sounds rather unnatural, 今天他突然有…… would be better, although the given sentence is slightly more idiomatic.

[DestinationVoid]

No idea. I've reported it.

[Patrick_Dark]

I see no reason why "他今天突然有重要的會議，所以不可以來。" shouldn't be accepted ("可以" versus "能").

[KX3.]

The given sentence is better, 可以 is more like he is physically unable to make it whereas 能 fits better since he could if he were to miss that important meeting, not that it'd be very wise!

[hippietrail]

Is it incorrect if I start the sentence with 今天突然他...?

[jjprvt]

今天他突然 and 他今天突然 are both good for my native ears, while 今天突然他 isn't.

[DesmondAllen]

I struggle to imagine the context of this English sentence...
