Two ways of saying "many times"
1. The Nth time(implying sth has happened many times)
Ex: For the Nth time, stop leaving your dirty socks on the floor.
Tips:
👋"the millionth time" means the same thing and American English likes to be exaggerated.
👋Different English speaking countries might be less in that big statements or understatements. More praised for British English.
2. The Nth degree(as much as possible or to an extreme level)
Ex: I'm training to the Nth degree for a …I ran 25 miles today.(有词没听出来)
Ex: My friend customized the car to the Nth degree. cast the frame wrapping the works(此部分没听出来)
Role Play:
A: Jordan really customizes his car to the Nth degree.
B: Yeah, I saw that. That looks so amazing! I 🤔 he put some turbo booster on it, too.
A: That may not have been best idea actually.
B: Oh ,no, what happened?
A: He got a speeding ticket last night for the Nth time.

Are you listening to All Ear English again today for the Nth time? today you get one key way to exaggerate in American English .
1. for the Nth time, means at the most recent time something has happened in a long series 连续 一系列, it definitly implys that something has happened many times.
eg, I need to fix my daughter's bike for the Nth time , the chain keeps falling off once she tries to ride it.
so you have been fixing it quite frequently.
For the Nth time, please stop leaving your dirty socks袜子 on the floor.
This is the Nth time i burned烧焦 dinner this month, i need to start settling timers计时器 定时器.
2. to the Nth degree, means as much as possible, or to an extream level .
eg, I'm training to the Nth degree for an marathon i ran 20miles today .
wow Jordan really customize定制 改制 his car to the Nth degree. (to the upmost尽最大的努力做某事, use this at work to commend表扬 someone sounds very positive)
yeap i saw that, it looks amazing. i think he puts some kind of turbo boost on it too. 涡轮增压:一种汽车或发动机技术,通过增加进气压力来提高发动机的动力输出。
that might not been a nice idea actually.
oh no what happened ?
he got a speeding ticket 超速罚单 last night for the Nth time. (for million of times)
