übermäßigt

Übermäßig is a German adverb that translates to "excessively," "too much," or "inordinately" in English. It describes an action, quantity, or quality that exceeds a reasonable, normal, or desirable limit. The word is used to indicate an immoderate degree or extent. For example, one might speak of übermäßigem Konsum (excessive consumption) of food or drink, or übermäßiger Stolz (excessive pride). It implies a departure from moderation and can often carry a negative connotation, suggesting that something is beyond what is considered appropriate or healthy. The adverb modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs to emphasize their excessive nature. It is a common term in everyday German conversation and writing to express that something is too much.
