'Too' meaning 'Also' (Tudi)
When 'TOO' means 'also' or 'in addition', it usually comes at the end of a sentence. It shows that something applies to another person or thing as well. For example, 'I like pizza. I like pasta, too.' Sometimes it's separated by a comma, but not always in informal English.

'Too' meaning 'Excessively' (Preveč)
This meaning of 'TOO' tells us something is more than needed or acceptable. It comes BEFORE an adjective or adverb, often implying a negative result. For instance, 'This soup is too hot to eat,' means it's so hot you can't eat it. This use often implies a negative consequence.

Combining 'Too' with 'For' or 'To'
When 'TOO' means 'excessively', we often use it with 'for' followed by a noun/pronoun, or 'to' followed by a verb (infinitive). For example, 'This task is too difficult for me' or 'It's too cold to swim today.' This helps to explain the consequence of something being excessive.
- Used with 'for' + noun/pronoun (e.g., too difficult for me).
- Used with 'to' + verb (infinitive) (e.g., too cold to swim).
