Usage Note
Acostumbrado functions both as the past participle of acostumbrar and as a standalone adjective. When used predicatively with estar, it signals a habitual state: estoy acostumbrado a madrugar (I am used to getting up early). With ser it can mean 'customary' in an impersonal sense. The construction acostumbrado a + infinitive is the standard pattern for expressing what one is accustomed to doing.
Examples
"No estoy acostumbrado al frío."
Natural Translation
I am not used to the cold.
