    Yes, but "Because it is very big" should be accepted, too.

      I agree very big should be right

          Muito is VERY not "too".

            muito is not correct as you say. It should be demais

              "Muito" is correct is you use a complaining tone.

              "Demais" leaves no doubt, but "muito" can translate "too".

                  why "because it is so big" isn't accepted?

                      how about "because it's SO big"

                        I believe that would be "Porque é tanto grande"

                            if" too big" is ok why not "pretty big" neither is a direct translation?

                              • Very big = Muito grande (positive/neutral intonation)
                              • Too big = Grande demais / Muito grande (negative intonation)
                              • Pretty big = Bem grande
                              • So big = Tão grande
