太 tài — 副词，表示程度过分

   副词，表示程度过分

   Says the degree has gone past what suits: 太大了 too big, 太热了 too hot. It almost always closes with 了, and that 了 is part of the pattern rather than a past marker.

   adverb
2. 2

   表示赞叹，程度很高

   adverb

   With a positive adjective, 太 is admiration rather than complaint: 太好了！ "that’s wonderful!"

常见错误

• 不太对这个苹果太大。

  正确这个苹果太大了。

  太 almost always needs its 了 to close the sentence. Leaving it off makes the sentence sound unfinished, as though something else were coming.
