one way to express the meaning "too ADJ to V" is to use the construction "ADJ harta fas hir V", with the V preceded by appropriate aux verbs and negations. For example:

- on gil hali harta fas hir dalki modo pan gatoko alor. - the stone be.heavy too.much so that one NEG be.able lift that.NEUT.PRON - the stone is too heavy to lift.

Another way is to use the construction "ADJ harta nil V", in this case, aux verbs and negations are not used. For example:

- on gil hali harta nil gatoko alor. - the stone be.heavy too.much in.respect.of lift that.NEUT.PRON - the stone is too heavy to lift.
