Questions & Answers about El hotel está completo.
Wait, doesn't completo usually mean "complete"?
It does, but this is one of those adjectives that changes its meaning depending on the verb! When used with estar, completo means "full" in the sense of "fully booked" or "at maximum capacity" (like a hotel, flight, or parking lot). If you used ser instead (el hotel es completo), it would mean the hotel is "comprehensive" or "fully equipped"—meaning it has every amenity you could want, like a pool, gym, and spa.
Could I say el hotel está lleno instead?
If estar completo means "to be full," can I say estoy completo when I've eaten too much?
