Translation: The sauce tasted too much of garlic.

You can never have too much garlic!

I tried "The sauce tasted too garlicky", and Duo didn't like that.

The English translation seems a bit awkward. We would usually say there was too much garlic in the sauce

[Najmiesmdr]

Would it be The sause tasted like it had too much garlic

[m3tzgore]

is it okay to add 'av' after 'för mycket' or is it just not needed?

[Arnauti]

It's not needed, but it's not grammatically wrong to add it.

[degrasseme]

Omöjligt!

Is it wrong to put "som" in there? t.e: "Såsen smakade för mycket som vitlök"?

[Zmrzlina]

It's not wrong, but it'd change the meaning from "too much of garlic" to "too much like garlic". It's a slight change of meaning, but it is a change of meaning.

Tack för förklaringen!

[Ryzhaze]

I tried the sauce tasted of garlic too much and that was wrong

[MC6853]

So the Swedes consider garlic to be white onion?
