Breakdown of ¿Estás enfadado conmigo?
Questions & Answers about ¿Estás enfadado conmigo?
Why is it estás and not eres?
Because enfadado describes a temporary emotional state, not a permanent characteristic.
- estar enfadado = to be angry / upset
- ser enfadado would suggest someone is an angry-type person by nature, which is not what this sentence means.
So ¿Estás enfadado conmigo? means Are you angry with me? in the sense of how someone feels right now.
What does enfadado mean exactly?
Enfadado means angry, annoyed, or upset.
In Spain, enfadado is a very common everyday word for being angry. Depending on context, it can range from mildly annoyed to genuinely angry.
Examples:
- Estoy enfadado. = I’m angry / upset.
- Se enfadó conmigo. = He/She got angry with me.
Why is it enfadado and not enfadada?
Because the adjective agrees with the person being spoken to.
In ¿Estás enfadado conmigo?, the speaker is talking to one male person, or using the masculine as the default form when gender is unknown.
Agreement:
- to a man: ¿Estás enfadado conmigo?
- to a woman: ¿Estás enfadada conmigo?
So the ending changes to match the gender of the person you are addressing.
What does conmigo mean, and why isn’t it con mí?
Conmigo means with me.
After the preposition con, Spanish uses special forms with mí and ti:
- conmigo = with me
- contigo = with you
So you do not say con mí or con ti in standard Spanish.
Examples:
- Ven conmigo. = Come with me.
- ¿Estás enfadado conmigo? = Are you angry with me?
Why does Spanish use with me here instead of something like at me or angry to me?
Because Spanish and English often use different prepositions with emotions.
In Spanish, the normal pattern is:
- estar enfadado con alguien = to be angry with someone
So:
- Estoy enfadado con él. = I’m angry with him.
- ¿Estás enfadado conmigo? = Are you angry with me?
This is just the standard preposition used with enfadado.
Is ¿Estás enfadado conmigo? specifically Spanish from Spain?

- Are you annoyed with me? to
- Are you really angry with me?
