Hi, Jackson.

This doesn't work. Try the infinitive: He's too big to mind it.

Or switch adverbs: He's so big that he won't mind it.


Your meaning is not exactly clear. "Mind" can be a little ambiguous.

Thank you, both of you.

AvangiWe often use "big" to mean "magnanimous." That was big of him..
(He will overlook your protest out of generosity - a big heart.)
This is what I had in mind. How would you rephrase my original now? Please let me know. Thanks a lot.

Oh, I dunno.

"The director is too big a man to be offended/bothered by your [silly] protest." (Forgive my liberties.)

Say: The director is too big to mind your protest. Use too plus adjective plus to, not too plus adjective plus that.

Alternatively, you can say: The director is so big that he will not mind your protest.

I dunno either.

The director is too forgiving / lenient / gracious to be bothered / upset / affected by your protest.
