I was wondering how this idiom translates to Spanish?
"I got used to it"
or
"You'll get used to it eventually"
or
"Get used to it!" (imperative)
or
"Get used to it..." (joke, sarcastic)

Acostumbrarse.
"I Got used to it"--- "Yo me acostumbré a eso"
"You'll get used to it eventually"--- "Tú te acostumbrarás a eso con el tiempo"
"Get used to it!" (imperative) ---¡Acostúmbrate!

I guess it depends on whether you actually mean "get accustomed to it" or "put up with it". - 0074b507, Dec 8, 2011

Yes, acostumbrarse is what I was thinking of, I was mixing it up with acostarse. I didn't know aguitar before, so I did learn a new word. Gracias a todos.

You're a little new to this. "Aguitar" seems to be a Mexican softening between agotar and aguantar. You can't take that verb everywhere. If it exists. Notice our community member's name, Hecho_en_Mex. Luckily Hispanic friends teach us so confidently. - 0000000, Dec 8, 2011
