Can you say she is all used up?

Question

Would you use gastado? Es gastado, está gastado? Gracias.

Edit; meaning she is spent, nothing left in her. Nothing left to offer or give.

Answer 1

Guitar has some pretty good ideas there (just watch out for those gender agreements, eh?)

You can also say: "Está desgastada - física y/o emocionalmente" Physically and/or emotionally run down.

Answer 2

A person that is all used up? Do you mean:

Flat broke: Ella está a dos velas/ Ella no tiene donde caerse muerta/ Ella está bruja

Tired: Ella está hecha polvo/ Ella está agotada/ Ella tiene los huesos molidos

Tired emotionally: Ella está desmayada; ha perdido todo su aliento y no sabe lo que le quede para entregar.

She is depressed; she has lost all of her strength and does not know what she has left to give.

Answer 3

Nada se le queda, quizas? I know you don't like me answering your questions but I want to get in on the action. I'm just wondering if that would even be close.

Why do you say that? - jeezzle, May 18, 2011

Mi nivel de entendimiento de espagñol no es tan bueno como suyo. Puedo imaginar que cuando está buscando una respuesta de un nativo, y agrego mis pensamientos, podrían molestarle. - Beatrice-Codder, May 18, 2011

Beatrice, everyone is allowed to participate and offer suggestions. If you're not sure of your answer, you can still write something along the lines: "Does it make sense to say xxxxx?" - Gekkosan, May 19, 2011

Answer 4

Hmm. I think it's:

Ella es una madre, una esposa, una empleada de tiempo completo, un chófer, una cocinera, una sirvienta general . . .

None of those mean used up. A prostitute is used up. She has no more hope. - jeezzle, May 18, 2011

Wow, you really did mean used up. I was kidding. Thought you meant totally exhausted, out of steam, etc. - babs_irish, May 18, 2011
