Hello again Bilge

Do you mean

She's already too spoilt for my liking.

or maybe

She's already too spoilt in my opinion.

or

She already seems too spoilt to me.

or still something else...
'to me' in this sentence just doesn't seem quite right.
Thanks!

Hello again Lein

I mean, this girl has already some spoilt behaviours towards me. Maybe we can change the word to me by towards me in the translation, can we?

Ah, ok, I read the sentence completely the wrong way then.

How about this?

She already behaves in too spoilt a manner towards me.

It is a bit long but I can't seem to find a more concise way of expressing this...

Oh, it is quite good and explains the meaning of the sentence well. It is OK for me.

One more thing, wouldn't it be:

She already behaves in "a" too spoilt manner towards me. ?

Hmm... No, but I don't know if there is a grammatical rule for that... It just sounds wrong. I have tried to find some sort of grammatical explanation but can't find a lot
Here is one (under number 1793):

for me, we don't need to use "a manner".

Would you rather see 'spoiltly'? That sounds very very weird. And 'spoilt' is an adjective, not an adverb, so 'she behaves spoilt' is gramatically wrong. ('she is spoilt' would be correct in terms of grammar, but not in terms of meaning I think.)

Hmm, I don't know. I have just taken a look at the pages you told me, but there are too many things, couldn't find anything I just thought that as we say "in a good manner", we could also say "in a spoilt manner" and finally, "in a too spoilt manner". It is logical, isn't it?

It is, but it doesn't work after 'too'. This is what the second reference says:

The indefinite article is placed AFTER an adjective (immediately before the noun in the singular) if that adjective is preceded by 'so', 'as', 'too', 'however', 'how':
It was too good a chance to be missed.
