How to express "It's becoming too [adj]"


I'll use "cold" as an example. It appears to be that one of the ways would be
to say 寒くなりすぎる, but this construction baffles me as すぎる here works in joint
with なる rather than 寒い. Is it still the only correct way of doing it? Also,
would it be possible to say 寒すぎてなる, and if so, how would the meaning change?




(*) 寒すぎてなる doesn’t work. If someone says it to me, I would ask them 寒すぎて何になる？

If you want to use an adjective, 寒くなりすぎる is the way.

The construction might start looking less baffling to you if learn to you see
it as describing an excessive degree of a change (なりすぎる), rather than its
result (寒い).

I will say nothing about なさすぎる for now…
