Too / so… with 太…了

Structure 太 + Adjective + 了

太…了 (tài… le) wraps an adjective to mean "too" or, with a positive tone, "how…!". 太贵了 = "it’s too expensive"; 太好了 = "great!". The final 了 almost always goes with 太 in this pattern. To soften it: 不太 + adjective = "not very" (不太贵 = "not very expensive").

Examples

太tài好hǎo了le！
Great!
这zhè个ge太tài贵guì了le。
This is too expensive.
今jīn天tiān太tài热rè了le。
It’s too hot today.
