In a way that is too much or more than is good or needed.
Модел на употреба:
excessively [adjective]
Честа грешка:
Learners often confuse "excessively" with "very" or "extremely." "Excessively" usually has a negative idea of "too much," while "very" and "extremely" can be positive or neutral (e.g., "very happy"). Another mistake is using double intensifiers like "very excessively," which sounds unnatural; use only one intensifier.
Синоними
overly (Very close in meaning; common in both spoken and written English and slightly less formal than "excessively.")
|

|
unduly (Formal and often used in legal or official contexts; suggests unfairness or lack of justification.)
Антоними
