良すぎ

• 読み: よすぎ
• ローマ字: yosugi
• 漢字の分解: 良 (good) + すぎ (too much/excessively) → too good
• 発音: /jo.sɯ.ɡi/

意味

Too good, excessively good — an emphatic declaration that something exceeds all expectations of quality.

A compound of 良い (good) and すぎる (too much), 良すぎ has become a go-to expression on social media for when something is so good that 'good' alone does not capture it. It is deliberately over-the-top — the implication is that the quality is almost unfair or unbelievable. Common in reactions to music, food, looks, and content.

例文

1. この曲良すぎてリピートが止まらない。
2. 彼氏が手作りケーキ作ってくれた。良すぎない？
3. 新作の映画、評判良すぎて予約取れない。
