Why this phrase is not correct? "too much hot to drink"

Hi Jim,
Thank you kindly,
What about "much too + [adjective]"?

And would you please tell me what would you translate "too much + [adjective]"? I mean what funny meaning would it have when you, as a native English speaker, read it? Sincerely, I would like to understand that. Sorry to take your time.

Thanks,

PaeezWhat about "much too + [adjective]"?

That's valid in English.

much too hot to drink.

If a native speaker said it, I might think he was purposely imitating a foreigner who was very bad at speaking English just to be comical and get a

Thank you for trying to clear that up. "too much" pattern is very familiar to my ears, I guess because it is used with noun with emotion, mostly, and when it comes with adjectives it is quite tricky for tests. I don't have the sense of distinguishing between correct usage and incorrect usage, yet - I mean a real-time process in my mind. However, you have been very helpful.

too much + [noun] is OK (with an uncountable noun)

too much sugar; too much money; too much jam; too much water

But not with an adjective: too much hot; too much long; too much high

I really appreciate that. Thank you for continuing help me.

What do you think about this?

"too + adjective + to verb" is OK.

I was thinking about "It is hot to drink", and it was occurred to me that the meaning of "too" is somehow embedded in the "hot" when it is used in such structures. Similarly, other adjectives too.

I think when we use "too mu

Paeez"too + adjective + to verb" is OK.

Correct.

In English the meaning of "too" is not embedded in "hot", "long", and so on

Thank you again, so the sentence "It is hot to drink" is not correct? If it is, when someone says that sentence, what does the listener think in his mind? I didn't assumed that in everywhere "hot" has a embedded "too", but only in such structures it can be understood that the drink is hot to drink or it is too had to drink. And in my language, when someone says "The tea or coffee is hot to drink",

PaeezAnd in my language, when someone says "The tea or coffee is hot to drink", that could have two meanings: 1. It is good, and hot, you can drink it.(50%) 2. It is too hot to drink, wait until it gets cooler.(50%)I guessed that perhaps in English, it has only the second meaning, so it is funny.

No, it doesn't have the second meaning unless you say "too".

Thank you.
