Questions & Answers about Estoy harto de revisar el celular cada minuto; voy a dejar de mirarlo mientras estudio.
What exactly does «estoy harto de» mean? Is it rude or just casual?
«Estoy harto de…» means “I’m fed up with…” / “I’m sick of…”.
- It expresses strong annoyance or exhaustion with something that keeps happening.
- It’s colloquial but not obscene. You can use it in everyday conversation, but it’s stronger than just «estoy cansado de…» (“I’m tired of…”).
- Rough strength in English:
- estoy cansado de ≈ “I’m tired of …” / “I’ve had enough of … (mild)”
- estoy harto de ≈ “I’m really fed up with …” / “I’m sick of …”
So the sentence feels like: “I’m really fed up with checking my phone every minute…”
Why is it «harto» and not «harta»? When do I change the ending?
«Harto» is an adjective that agrees with the person who is fed up:
- A man: «Estoy harto de…»
- A woman: «Estoy harta de…»
For more people:
- Group of men / mixed group: «Estamos hartos de…»
- Group of women: «Estamos hartas de…»
The verb «estoy» doesn’t show gender, so the -o / -a of harto/harta is what tells you if the speaker is male or female.
Why is there «de» after «estoy harto» and after «dejar»?
