すぎるToo much; excessively
Attach すぎる to a verb or adjective to say that an action or quality goes beyond an appropriate or expected degree: “too much,” “too many,” or “too.”
Actions and qualities
The speaker judges the action or quality against a limit suggested by the situation.
The limit comes from context
The form does not name an exact limit. A bag can be too heavy to carry, a room too quiet to feel comfortable, or a meal too large for one person. It often sounds critical, but it does not automatically scold anyone.
Not always a complaint
In an enthusiastic or humorous context, the same form can praise something for going impressively beyond expectations. The underlying idea is still excess; context tells you whether that excess is welcome.
このアプリは便利すぎて、もう手放せない。
This app is so convenient that I cannot do without it now.
AnalyzeHere the unusually high degree of convenience is welcome rather than a problem.
