Too, So, and Very.
(Beginner Class)

This week I taught you the difference between "Too" and "So".
For example:
1. I`m too full.
2. I`m so full.

#1 means you ate so much and you can`t eat any more.
#2 means you ate a lot, but it is possible to eat more.

OK, so what about VERY?
3. I`m very full.

#3 simply means "とても". You ate a lot of food.

So, if you go to Shakeys Pizza and have 5 pieces, you feel VERY FULL.
If you eat 8 pieces, you feel SO FULL.
And if you try to eat as much as Nagisa did (18 pieces), then you will feel TOO FULL!
