HSK 6 Adverbs
未免
Rather too / a bit too (未免)
Structure 未免 + 太/过于 + (over-the-top) judgment
未免 (wèimiǎn) introduces a softened judgment that something goes too far: «that really is a bit…». It opens an evaluative clause and is almost always followed by 太 or 过于: 你这样说未免太过分了 = «putting it that way is, frankly, going a little too far». It tempers a criticism (not a flat «no», but a polite reproach). Mind its two neighbours: 难免 (HSK 5) says something is unavoidable, and 不免 marks a natural consequence; 未免, by contrast, is always the speaker's reproach of excess.
