Describe a degree beyond what is suitable.
The idea
Put demasiado before an adjective or adverb to express excess; it stays unchanged.
Examples
- La mochila es demasiado pesada.The backpack is too heavy.
- Hablas demasiado rápido.You speak too fast.
- Las ventanas están demasiado altas.The windows are too high.
- Llegamos demasiado tarde al concierto.We arrived too late at the concert.
- El café está demasiado frío.The coffee is too cold.
- El tren va demasiado despacio.The train is going too slowly.
