意味
Commenting on the size of something.
文化的背景
Estonians prefer 'minimalism'. A house or car that is 'liiga suur' is often viewed as impractical or showing off. Portion sizes in Estonia are usually moderate. If a tourist says 'See on liiga suur', it's often a genuine surprise at the amount of food. In a sauna, if the heat is 'liiga suur' (though usually 'liiga kuum' is used), it's a sign to step out. Estonians respect their limits. In Estonian myths, giants like Suur Tõll are 'suured', but never 'liiga suured' because their size was their strength.
The 'Too' Rule
Always use 'liiga' before the adjective to express dissatisfaction with the amount.
People and Size
Be careful calling a person 'liiga suur'. It usually refers to weight. Use 'pikk' for height.
