「すぎる」の情報
すぎる is a verb that is used in Japanese to mean 'to exceed', or 'to go past'. It keeps this meaning when it is attached to other words, and creates the Japanese equivalent of saying that something is 'too much'. すぎる can be joined to the ます stem of verbs, the stem form of い-Adjectives (simply remove the い), or the stem form of な-Adjectives (simply remove the な).
With すぎる, the る is regularly omitted, with すぎ being used by itself. This is a casual language pattern, and something you will hear all the time. This variation may be used with any word that すぎる would usually be used with.
There are a few rules that you will need to be careful about when using すぎる. The first of these unique rules is using すぎる with ない. When linked to ない, the い-Adjective, the い changes to さ, creating the structure なさすぎる. This means 'too much not (A)', or more naturally in English 'not enough (A)'. However, when the auxiliary verb version of ない follows verbs, the さ is not used, resulting in なすぎる. Despite this, さ may sometimes be included following verbs in slangy Japanese.
As with regular ない forms, では or じゃ will be required when used after な-Adjectives.
In the third example here, we can see that the さ has been omitted. This is not correct Japanese, as the さ will always be required when ない is functioning as an い-Adjective.
The second unique rule is when using すぎる with いい to mean 'too good'. Because すぎる is used with the stem form of い-Adjectives, you will need to remember that the stem form of いい is not actually い, but よ. This means that よすぎる would be correct, while いすぎる is not.
Caution
Because すぎる itself is a verb, it can also appear in the negative form, this confuses a lot of learners, and is something that needs to be practiced. Let's have a look at all of the ways that すぎる could possibly appear with ない.
Because the meaning is different in each one of these sentences, depending on where the ない is, and how many ない's there are, you may need to be careful while reading these, until it starts to feel natural.

Please can this grammar point be worded more clearly, and the SRS progression be made to progress more logically?
I’m currently stuck at Beginner 0 (because I’m finding it so hard), but the very first test question I keep getting is ‘お菓子を ________ でください。’ (Please don’t eat too much).
This feels like an advanced question and I really wish the SRS started with the basics (すぎる) before moving onto なさすぎる, the two focuses of the grammar point.
すぎない is barely even mentioned in the grammar explanation, and yet it’s the first question I get asked. It’s incredibly frustrating.

We’re in the process of adding new easier sentences to the majority of the grammar points currently, so hopefully that will help with this!
I’m currently stuck at Beginner 0 (because I’m finding it so hard), but the very first test question I keep getting is ‘お菓子を ________ でください。’ (Please don’t eat too much).
This question is second to last in the order so shouldn’t be showing up first. The first ones that should show up are the ones in the picture below:

New easier examples sound great, thanks!
Unfortunately i can’t remember exactly how well i’ve done with this grammar point, but it’s one i only started recently and i don’t think i’ve ever made it past maybe Beginner 2? すぎる has really broken my brain
