If an i-adjective comes before すぎる… [JLPT grammar]
[Student’s sentence]
このシャツは私には大きいすぎます。
This shirt is too big for me.
*このシャツはわたしにはおおきいすぎます。

[My correction]
このシャツは私には大きいすぎます。
→このシャツは私には大きすぎます。
This shirt is too big for me.
If an i-adjective comes before すぎる, the final ‘い’ of the i-adjective is removed
大きい→大きすぎる
高い→高すぎる
寒い→寒すぎる
na-adjectives can be used as they are
ひま→ひますぎる
しずか→しずかすぎる
