    　　Afternoon,
    My question is about the stem form used to attach a verb to すぎます. Is it always polite stem form?
    Thanks so much! Best of luck to you.

    By “polite stem form”, you mean 飲む -> 飲み, right?

    It’s not that the い-stem is polite, it’s just that it’s the stem used with the polite verbs, because it’s the stem that gets used with almost everything.

    So yeah, it’s always the い-stem. =)
