"María come poco pan."

"María come poco pan."

Wouldn't that sentence better translate to "Maria eats little bread."?

And "Maria doesn't eat much bread." better translate to "María no come mucho pan."?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using demasiado, bastante, suficiente, poco, tanto and mucho to express quantity in Spanish (quantitative adjectives)"

Hola Jonathan

We used this translation "María doesn't eat much bread" to sound more natural. But, yes, the literal translation would be "María eats little bread"
