Using すぎます・すぎる (too, too much)

Have you ever overdone it? Maybe you’re like me and eat too much pizza. Here’s how you can tell your friends about it in Japanese. 

formula: stem of な-adjective/ stem of い-adjective/ conjunctive form of verb + すぎます・すぎる

stem of い-adjective = word without い

明るい (akarui) →　明る (akaru)

優しい (yasashii)　→　優し (yasashi) 

高い (takai) 　→　高 (taka) 

stem of な-adjective = word without the copula

きれいです (kirei desu)　→　きれい (kirei)

有名です (yuumei desu) 　→　有名 (yuumei) 

便利です (benri desu) 　→　便利  (benri) 

conj. form of verbs = the verb without ます

食べます (tabemasu)　→　食べ (tabe) 

飲みます (nomimasu) 　→　飲み (nomi)

行きます (ikimasu)　→　行き (iki) 

Here are some examples of すぎます in action 

1.)  この本は難しすぎます。(kono hon wa muzukashi sugimasu) -> This book is too difficult. 

2.)東京の映画館は高すぎる。(tookyoo no eigakan wa takasugiru) -> Tokyo movie theatre’s are too expensive. 

3.) このブラウスはちょっと派手すぎますね。 (kono burausu wa chotto hade sugimasu ne) -> This blouse is a little too showy, isn’t it? 

4.)今のアパートは不便すぎますから、新しいアパートを探しています。(ima no apaato wa fuben sugimasu kara, atarashii apaato wo sagashite imasu) -> The current apartment is too inconvenient, so I’m looking for a new one. 

5.)日曜日はお昼まで寝ました。ちょっと寝すぎました。(nichiyoubi wa ohiru made nemashita. Chotto nesugimashita) -> Yesterday I slept until noon. I slept a little too much. 

6.)昨日ビールを飲みすぎましたから、今日はお酒は飲みません。(kinou biiru wo nomisugimashita kara, kyou wa osake wa nomimasen.) -> Yesterday I drank too much beer, so today I will not drink alcohol. 

7.)ノドヨドはいつもピザを食べすぎる。(nodoyodo wa itsumo piza wo tabesugiru) -> Nodoyodo is always eating too much pizza. 

“Long way Back”

住む vs.暮らす

Both of these verbs means “to live” but there is a slight nuance in meaning.

住む「すむ」simply means to live somewhere, the act of of you residing in a house, apartment, etc

暮らす「くらす」means to live but focuses on the 生活 (daily life) and interactions with the place you live

例えば：

僕は東京に住んでいる。This sentence simply means that I live in Tokyo, that I existence and take residence in Tokyo.

僕は東京に暮らしている。This sentence means that I not only reside in Tokyo, but my daily life and interactions are in Tokyo. May imply that I also work there, my whole life is in Tokyo, more than just a place of existence. 

Both words are interchangeable, so if you use one in place of the other it’s totally fine, they only really matter when you want to imply something more in the meaning. Also, 一人暮らし「ひとりぐらし」 is a noun that means to live alone or have a solitary life. Thought you guys might find that word useful!
