Japanese

<p>
	In the last lesson we've learned the following sentence:
</p>

<table class="ui celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="217597"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	It would sound more natural if we'd use the words <strong>too much</strong> instead of <strong>a lot</strong> here.
	We can do this in Japanese by adding the verb <strong><ruby>過suぎる</ruby></strong> to the stem of the verb.
</p>

<table class="ui celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="217601"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	Note also how we used the loanword <strong>アルコオル</strong> here instead of <strong>お酒</strong>,
	which is less ambiguous than <strong>お酒</strong>, as <strong>お酒</strong> is also used to refer to rice wine in particular.
</p>

<p>
	You can also use <strong><ruby>過suぎる</ruby></strong> in combination with <strong>い-adjectives</strong> and <strong>な-adjectives</strong>,
	by simply replacing the <strong>-い</strong> or <strong>-な</strong> ending with the verb <strong><ruby>過suぎる</ruby></strong>.
</p>

<table class="ui celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="217639"></tr>
		<tr data-item="217651"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
