How to Say "too much" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “too much” is “demasiado” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Este café está demasiado caliente.
This coffee is too hot.
Hablas demasiado rápido para mí.
You speak too fast for me.
No trabajes demasiado, necesitas descansar.
Don't work too much, you need to rest.
The Form That Never Changes
When 'demasiado' means 'too' and describes a quality (like 'hot', 'fast', 'expensive') or an action (like 'work', 'talk'), it ALWAYS stays 'demasiado'. It never changes to 'demasiada' or 'demasiados'.
Making it Match When it Shouldn't
Mistake: “La sopa está demasiada caliente.”
Correction: La sopa está demasiado caliente. Why? Because you're describing 'caliente' (hot), not the soup itself. The word describing a quality doesn't change.
Other Meanings of “demasiado”
“demasiado” can also mean:
- With things you can't count, e.g., 'too much water'(A2)
