뜻
To feel fatigued or in need of rest.
문화적 배경
The 'siesta' is a famous tradition, but in big cities, it's more of a weekend luxury. However, businesses still often close between 2 PM and 5 PM. Using 'estoy cansado' can be a soft way to say you're done for the night without being blunt. The phrase 'estar liquidado' is a very common local way to say you are extremely tired. In countries like Cuba or DR, you might hear 'estoy molido' (I am ground up) to express deep physical tiredness.
Gender Check
