This week’s Spanish word of the week is harto.
Harto is an adjective that means fed up, tired. You can listen to the pronunciation of harto in the audio clip below:
function playAudio(url) { new Audio(url).play(); }
If you’re fed up with or tired with something harto de is the phrase you need:
Estoy harta de esta comida. I’m fed up with this food.
Estamos hartos de tus quejas. We are tired of your complaining.
Estaba harta de que le dieran órdenes. She was fed up with being ordered about.
Sometimes when you’re really fed up, you just want to say you’ve had enough:
¡Ya estoy harto! I’ve had enough!
Note how you use harto with tener in the next structure:
¡Me tienes harta! I’m fed up with you.
In Latin America, harto placed before a noun means a lot of:
Había harta comida. There was a lot of food.
We hope to see you again the week for another word!
