How should I say I'm mad?

Question

If I want to say "I'm mad" should I say "Estoy enojado" or "Estoy enfadado"? Is there a difference?

Answer 1

enfadado es related to an ongoing or repeated state that you fall into. Like saying you're tired of it + anger. Puedes estar enfadado de que tus hijos dejan la ropa en el piso. Because they do it often. But ...estas enojado..if it was just today that they left their clothes on the floor. Did that help?

Answer 2

They both mean angry. I believe it´s a regional thing...

I had to confirm that, so I asked my boyfried. He said that here people use enojado(a), and you almost never hear enfadado(a).

I did some research on it myself, and I found that people from Spain use enfadado for angry and fed up or molesto for fed up, annoyed, ect., and other Spanish speaking countries use enojado. I found out that enfadado(a) can also mean fed up, but I usually hear the phrase estoy harto(a).

Here in Mexico we use enojado-a... - NikkiLR, Oct 14, 2009

Answer 3

There is another expression that could be useful. "estar harto de algo" = "to be fed up with somethg" "estábamos hartos de repitirlo" = "we are fed up (with) repeating it" "Me tienes harto! = "I am fed up with you!"

That is used often too... You can also just say estoy harto(a), if you were already talking about the subject. Another way to say I am fed up with you is, Estoy harto(a) de ti.

Answer 4

There is another expression that could be useful. "estar harto de algo" = "to be fed up with somethg"

"estábamos hartos de repitirlo" = "we are fed up (with) repeating it"

"Me tienes harto! = "I am fed up with you!"
