Indicates an excessive quantity or degree.
문화적 배경
The French often use 'trop' as a form of 'understated complaint'. Saying 'C'est un peu trop' is a very polite way of saying 'I hate this' or 'This is unacceptable'. In Quebec, 'trop' is used similarly to France, but you might also hear 'pas mal' used to mean 'a lot', which can sometimes be confused with 'trop' by learners. On TikTok and Instagram, 'C'est trop' is the equivalent of 'I'm dead' or 'This is too much'. It's used for anything visually stunning or hilariously funny.
The 'De' Rule
Never forget the 'de' when a noun follows. 'Trop café' is wrong; 'Trop de café' is right.
Slang Usage
Use 'C'est trop !' to react to a funny meme. It makes you sound like a native speaker.
