Excessive amount.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Turkey, it is common for hosts to ignore 'Çok fazla' the first time you say it. They see it as 'kibarca reddetmek' (politely refusing). You may need to say it three times to actually stop them from giving you more food! When shopping in places like the Grand Bazaar, 'Çok fazla' is your best friend. It signals to the seller that you know the value and are not willing to pay the 'tourist price'. Turkish people often use 'çok fazla' to downplay their own achievements. If someone says 'You are very successful', a modest person might reply 'Yok canım, çok fazla büyütüyorsun' (No dear, you are exaggerating too much). Turkish people drink 'çok fazla çay'. It is not uncommon for one person to drink 10-15 small glasses in a single afternoon. Using 'çok fazla' here is often a joke about their own addiction.
The Singular Rule
Always remember: Çok fazla + Singular Noun. It's the #1 mistake for English speakers.
Don't Overuse It
If you use 'çok fazla' for everything you like, it sounds like you are complaining about things you enjoy.
