Please help using "sugiru" with suru verbs / irreg

Postby enchantrix » October 25th, 2008 11:18 am

Hi there,

I am studying "sugiru" with verbs at the moment meaning to do something too much and I have a quick question.

I can find examples of ichidan and godan verbs
食べすぎる - eat too much
話しすぎる - talk too much

but I can't seem to find any examples of suru verbs. For suru is this contruction formed in the same way as ichidan and godan? verb (masu stem) + sugiru

The verbs I really want to know about are 勉強する (benkyou suru - to study) and 運転する (unten suru - to drive)

would these be
勉強しすぎる (benkyou shisugiru)?
運転しすぎる (unten shisugiru)?

Also I can't seem to find any examples of how is "sugiru" used with the verb 来る (kuru).

would this be 来すぎる (kisugiru)?

like:

彼女は私の家で来すぎました。
kanojo wa watashi no ie de kisugimashita
She came to my house too much

Any help greatly appreciated!

Yeah, you just conjugate with the masu-stem. Here's a couple of examples from Google:

携帯に迷惑メールが来すぎて困ってます
運転しすぎて肩がこった

彼女は私の家で来すぎました。
kanojo wa watashi no ie de kisugimashita
She came to my house too much


彼女は私の家に来すぎました。
kano jo wa watashi no ie ni kisugimashita.

~に 来る desune. :D

~すぎる can also be a noun when used as ~すぎ。 For example,

勉強のしすぎはよくない。
benkyou no shisugi wa yokunai.
Same meaning as it is not good to study too much= 勉強しすぎるのはよくない。

~のしすぎは~
おかしの食べすぎはよくない。
okashi no tabe sugi wa yokunai
it's not good to eat too much sweets.

夜更かしのしすぎはよくない。
yofukashi no shisugi wa yokunai.
it is not goot to stay up late too often.
:D
