Verboids (verbs and adjectives) in Japanese have a combining form, and helper verbs like -すぎる are appended to that. 遅い -> 遅 + すぎる -> 遅すぎる. 寝る -> 寝 + すぎる -> 寝すぎる. する -> し + すぎる -> しすぎる. For verbs the combining form is the stem to which you add -ます forms.This is the 'masu stem', right?Thank you Stephen. I've noticed the pattern before and I'm sure it's been explaned to me before but it's finally starting to make sense.Steve Smith
