Foreigners often make some strange mistakes in Chinese when they study the most difficult language— —Chinese. We try to analyze typical sentences to correct these errors.
Zhèlǐ yǒu duō rén.
False: 这里有多人。
Zhèlǐ yǒu hěnduō rén.
True: 这里有很多人。
句中的“多”不能单独作定语,“多”的前边应当加“很”。一并作中心语“人”的定语。“很”表示程度的意义不明显。
多can not act as an attributive in isolation. It must be used in combination with 很 before it to serve as an attributive of the head word(人). Here 很 does not hold a definite implication of a high degree.
