Jeg er utslitt.

Because Norwegian uses å være (to be) to describe a state or condition:

• Jeg er trøtt. = I am tired.
• Jeg er syk. = I am sick.
• Jeg er utslitt. = I am exhausted.

Using å ha (to have) would sound wrong here, because utslitt is an adjective, not something you possess.

Utslitt is an adjective. It describes how someone is.

In this sentence:

• Jeg = subject
• er = verb
• utslitt = adjective describing the subject

So the structure is very similar to English: I am exhausted.

Yes. Utslitt is usually much stronger than trøtt.

• trøtt = tired
• sliten = tired / worn out
• utslitt = exhausted / completely worn out

So Jeg er utslitt suggests a fairly strong level of tiredness, either physical, mental, or both.

A careful approximation is:

• Jeg ≈ yai or yay
• er ≈ air but shorter
• utslitt ≈ OOT-slit

A rough full pronunciation could be:

yai er OOT-slit

A few notes:

• The g in jeg is usually not pronounced like a hard English g.
• In many dialects, jeg sounds different. You may also hear forms like eg or æ, but jeg is the standard written form in Bokmål.
• The stress in utslitt is mainly on the last part: -slitt.

Because jeg simply means I, and it does not show grammatical gender.

Norwegian nouns have gender, but personal pronouns like jeg do not work that way. So whether the speaker is male, female, or anything else, you still say:

Jeg er utslitt.

Yes, adjectives in Norwegian can change form depending on what they describe.

Examples:

• Jeg er utslitt. = I am exhausted.
• Hun er utslitt. = She is exhausted.
• Vi er utslitte. = We are exhausted.

With plural subjects, you often get -e:

• De er utslitte.

But with jeg, the form is simply utslitt.

Yes. Utslitt can also mean worn out for objects.

For example:

• Skoene er utslitte. = The shoes are worn out.
• Denne sofaen er utslitt. = This sofa is worn out.

So for people, it often means exhausted. For things, it often means worn out from use.

Yes. Jeg føler meg utslitt means I feel exhausted.

The difference is small, but the nuance is:

• Jeg er utslitt. = a direct statement: I am exhausted.
• Jeg føler meg utslitt. = emphasizes your experience or feeling: I feel exhausted.

Both are natural.

No, this is standard Norwegian main-clause word order:

• Jeg = subject
• er = verb
• utslitt = complement/adjective

So it follows the common pattern:

Subject + verb + complement

Very straightforward, and very similar to English:

I + am + exhausted

Yes, absolutely. Jeg er utslitt is a natural and common sentence.

It sounds a bit stronger than just saying you are tired, so people use it when they want to stress that they are really worn out:

• after a long day
• after hard physical work
• after emotional stress
• after lack of sleep

So it is everyday Norwegian, but with a strong meaning.
