"Il aime manger beaucoup."

Translation: He likes to eat a lot.

[Onoszko]

So, this could either mean that he likes eating loads of food, or that he really likes eating food? I typed in the latter, and it worked.

You can interpret it as follows:

• il aime manger beaucoup = he likes to eat a lot

• il aime beaucoup manger = he really enjoys eating / he very much likes to eat

In translating "il aime manger beaucoup" to English, I answered "he likes eating very much" and it was marked correct. Based on your response, sitesurf, should I be second guessing duolingo here? Thanks heaps!

[noideasleft]

I was marked wrong for ...very much - shame!

[AeonMach]

Thanks. Very logical and actually avoids the ambiguity that exists in English. (Or at least without saying the slightly stiff 'he very much likes to eat'.)

[timeracer]

Isn't the answer "He likes to eat much" correct?

[robhines]

Very much for beaucoup should be accepted.

[lobotlr]

Trés beaucoup would be very much

[CarolynnFrenchie]

Nope,"très beaucoup" doesn't exist in French ;)
You can either say beaucoup or "vraiment beaucoup" like "Je l'aime vraiment beaucoup",but not in every context like whan you say thanks to someone,because you can't say "merci vraiment beaucoup" ;)

[VadeGull]

How do we beaucoup and trés?

[DDirewolf]

Il aime manger plus petit.

Is this correct for
He likes to eat less?

[Sitesurf]

The opposite of "more/plus" is "less/moins": il aime manger moins = he likes to eat less.

The opposite of "much/beaucoup" is "little/peu": il aime manger peu = he likes to eat little (not much)

Somtimes aime means like othertimes it means love. I must have missed something because I never know when do use them correctly I just quess.
