With kanji - 余り. See also variant あんまり (contributor: 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！' (contributor: Amatuka)
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。
(contributor: Miki)
I agree with Miki-san. Let's change #137. (contributor: bamboo4)
ex#4429 English should be 'I was too glad to jump up.' (contributor: Miki)
#4429: how about: I was so glad I jumped up? (contributor: dc)
shouldn't ex [#4417] be removed here and moved to amari 2? (contributor:
infinite_trial)
I agree with 'infinite_trial.' Also, in #4415, 'late up night' should be
'late at nights.' (contributor: bamboo4)
Shouldn't ex#137, ex #4413, #4414, #4415, #4417 be moved to another
あまりcategory? (contributor: 誠)
Just to clarify, can のあまり only be used with nouns or adjectives
(+sa)? (contributor: tw)
very colloquial masculine version: あんま (contributor: 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! (contributor: S.G.)
I moved entry to which didn't exist.
I moved Ex #137, #4413, #4414, #4415 and #4417 to the 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 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?
