Being a West Germanic language, the way that Town Speech-Plattdytch expresses the meaning "too ADJ to V" is virtually identical to that of English. one uses the expression "too ADJ to V"(written as "過う ADJ と V in
Town Speech), with the verb in the infinitive form. For example:- (
Plattdytch) it is too sware to heven. / ( Town Speech) いっといす過う重る上えいわﾟん / /ɪt ɪs tu: swɑ:ɹ tə he̞:vən/(IPA in both) - it is too heavy to lift.The way that Town Speech-Plattdytch expresses the meaning "so ADJ that V" is also very similar to that of English. one uses the expression "so ADJ dat V"(written as "そう ADJ だと V" in
Town Speech) to express the meaning. For example:- (
Plattdytch) it is so kold dat he will ne gaan aut. / ( Town Speech) いっといすそう冷どだとひ欲るﾟね行ああん出と / /ɪt ɪs so: kɔɫd̥ dät hi: wɪɫ nɛ gɑ:n äʊt/(IPA in both) - it is so cold that he does not want to go out.
