[動-辞書形 / た形；な形-な；名-の]＋あまり

yuenannie

With kanji - 余り. See also variant あんまり

Amatuka

あんまり is often used on its own to mean "That's too much!" / "That's horrible!" "ソレはあんまりよ！"

Amatuka

Just to clarify, can のあまり only be used with nouns or adjectives (+sa)?

tw

Shouldn't ex#137, ex #4413, #4414, #4415, #4417 be moved to another あまりcategory?

誠

ex#4429 English should be 'I was too glad to jump up.'

Miki

#4429: how about: I was so glad I jumped up?

dc

I agree with "infinite_trial." Also, in #4415, "late up night" should be "late at nights."

bamboo4

very colloquial masculine version: あんま

shiho-chan

誠 is absolutely right about ex[#137, #4413, #4414, #4415, #4417]! The あまり in these examples has another meaning ("too") and they should be moved!

S.G.

shouldn't ex [#4417] be removed here and moved to amari 2?

infinite_trial

ex#137 This would be more natural この話は本当にしてはあまりにもうますぎる。

Miki

I agree with Miki-san. Let's change #137.

bamboo4

I moved [amari] entry to [noamari] which didn't exist.
I moved Ex #137, #4413, #4414, #4415 and #4417 to the [amari] entry I created for them, and they became Ex #6790, #6791, #6792, #6793 and #6794 respectively.
I changed #137, #4413, #4414, #4415, #4417 so they fit for the [noamari] entry.
Is this too much contribution?/参加の余りでしょうか。
After that, I don't understand "昇任したさ" in Ex #4433. 高い makes 高さ by move to substantive. Does したい makes したさ the same way?
