"É muito longe."

Translation: It is very far.

[sewerhorse6]

TOO FAR is longe demais

[paulconsul]

I agree. "It is too far" should be "É longe demais."

[dtnansel]

Can muito really mean too?

[mephyle]

But in some sentences it does mean ‘too much’. Sometimes the correct answer for a sentence with ‘muito’ is given by Duolingo as ‘too’. So how do you know when it can mean ‘too [much]’ and when it doesn’t?

[ZuMako8_Momo]

No, it cannot. As has been said above, «demais»/«demasiadamente» = "too." :)

Why is "it is very long" wrong?

[ZuMako8_Momo]

Because «comprido»/«longo» = "long;" «longe» never means "long"

[BradleyHes]

Whats wrong with "it is very long" this can also mean far in english as in the journey is long

[ZuMako8_Momo]

The problem is that «longe» always means "far," never "long." If you want to say that the journey is "long," you would use the Portuguese word for "long," which would be «longa»/«comprida». Also, "long" and "far" are not the same thing. A journey is long, but the destination is far; it is never the other way around. "long" describes length, while "far" describes distance in comparison to an origin.
