Getting up very early!

Question

Tiene sentido decir
"tuve que madrugar mogollon"

Gracias,
ME

Answer 1

Well, it's saying
the driving test had me terrified/frightened beyond words/very scared/so nervous, however you choose to say it, but yes, that's what it meant

Answer 2

Always welcome , James!!

Answer 3

thanks for your help heidita

Answer 4

Is this a correct interpretation of your example sentence?

The performance exam frightened me beyond words!

Answer 5

In Barcelona we use it too very often.

Answer 6

Right. I wanted a very emphatic and personable way of saying how early I had to get up.
The reason I posted this question in Grammar forum rather than in vocabulary is because I know what each word means, but I wanted to make sure I could use them together in that way.
Mogollon is like "a lot" not in the sense of "often" but in the sense of "very much so"

I learned it in the example sentence,
"El examen de conducir me acojona mogollon" jejeje

Since I'm still new to the expression I wanted to make sure I was using it correctly
Thanks, guys!

Answer 7

No problem, james, just ask and here you will get ll the answers.

mogollón is an expression (very "madrileño" from Madrid) which means: a lot

But in this context: very early.

Sorry, your sentence is not correct:

" he(she) had the sense to say...I had to get up early a lot" ?

She meant:

does it make any sense to say: I had to get up vey early'

Answer 8

so, does this translate something like " he(she) had the sense to say...I had to get up early a lot" ?

since all the replies are in spanish I need some help with translating ME's post.

Thanks
