Too / enough

Lesson 34 of 84

A2

too = zyada (problem — kaam mushkil). enough = kaafi (kaam ho sakta hai). Jagah: too hot (too + adjective). big enough (adjective + enough). Tulna (bigger) = 24. few / little = 49.

1. Kya hai

Matlab Example
too limit se zyada — kaam mushkil / band The chai is too hot. I can't drink it.
enough jitna chahiye — kaam ho sakta hai The water is hot enough now.
very (11) bahut — problem zaroori nahi It's very hot, but we can sit outside.

Do too: I'm too tired. (= zyada thak gaya). I like cricket too. (= bhi / also — end pe).

2. too

Rule Yes No
too + adjective too hot, too expensive, too tired too much hot / too much tired
too much + uncountable (20) too much sugar / rice / traffic too many sugar
too many + countable plural too many people / bags / autos too much people
too + adjective + to + base too tired to cook too tired cook / too tired for cook
too + adjective + for + me/him (31) too heavy for me too heavy to me

too bigger nahi — too big (24). Extra quantity errors = I6.

3. enough

Rule Yes No
adjective + enough big enough, old enough, hot enough enough big / enough old
enough + noun enough rice, enough time, enough chairs rice enough (noun se pehle enough: enough rice)
not enough The shirt isn't big enough. We haven't got enough milk. The shirt isn't enough big.

The chai is too much hot. / I'm too much tired.
The chai is too hot. / I'm too tired.
The shirt isn't enough big.
The shirt isn't big enough.
She is enough old to drive.
She is old enough to drive.

I like too cricket. / It's too hot. (jab sirf "bahut, OK")
I like cricket too. / It's very hot. (problem ho to too)
Hindi note. Hindi "bahut" kabhi very hai, kabhi too. Problem / nahi ho sakta = too. Kaafi = enough — adjective ke baad (big enough), noun ke pehle (enough rice). Cheez ki ginti: too many. Mass: too much. Adjective ke saath too much hot mat lagao.
