Expressing "a bit too"

Nível: HSK 5 | Categoria: Gramática

            Fórmula Sintática: Adj. + 了（一）点儿
          

Explicação da Regra:

了一点儿 (le yīdiǎnr), can be added after an adjective to mean "just a little bit too...." It is softer in tone than using 太 , and so is often used when the speaker doesn't want to insult the listener by criticizing too bluntly. In this structure, the overall effect of the pattern depends on the preceding adjective. If the adjective in the structure has a negative meaning, then it is used to show the speaker’s dissatisfaction (a sort of complaint). If the adjective in the structure has a positive meaning, then it usually reflects a change. Adj. + 了（一）点儿稍微 (shāowēi) can also be added before the adjective to further soften the tone.
