How would you, in spanish, say "I'm done" or "I'm finished"?

Question

I think that it's a fairly simple question... I'd just like to know.

Answer 1

hola,

If by these, you want to say that you have done a work and have finished it, in this case, you are incorrect in saying "I 'm done / I 'm finishd". the correct form is " I have done / I have finished".

for such situation, in spanish, you can use "acaber hacer algo" or "terminar hacer algo". for example:

he terminado/ he acabado = I have done/finished. like in: he terminado/ he acabado escribir la carta = I have done/finished writing the letter.

Correct orthography: "Hola:" - lazarus1907, May 1, 2011

Actually, in English, "I'm done" or "I'm finished" would both be correct usage. "I have finished" would also be correct, but "I have done" would require an object, e.g., "I have done the work." "I have done" would beg the question, "You have done what? - Scott0738, May 31, 2017

Answer 2

Just a side note, when something is "over" you say, "¡Ya estuvo! A funny way of saying it is ¡"Ya estufas!"

or simply "ya'ta" ;) - chileno, Jan 14, 2015

Gracias, Es una forma corta de "ya está" ¿no? - Daniela2041, Jan 14, 2015

Answer 3

We would say "I have finished" = "He acabado/terminado"

Answer 4

I finished lungeing the horse a few minutes ago.

@Senora: ¿ Qué es "lungeing?" no sé esa palabra. Acabo de "-------------"el caballo hace unos minutos. - Daniela2041, Jan 14, 2015

Answer 5

we use terminar, terminado, depending on the tense of the passage

Answer 6

In what context would you like to say "I'm done" or "I'm finished"? There are lots of different ways those words can be used in English and unless we know the situation you want to use it in, we can't really give you an accurate translation.
