Usage Note

Harto has two main uses: physically full after eating (estoy harto de comer) and emotionally fed up (estoy harto de esperar). As an adverb in Latin America, harto can mean 'a lot' or 'very' (harto tiempo — a long time), which surprises speakers of Peninsular Spanish. The feminine form is harta.

Examples

"Estoy harta de sus excusas."

I'm fed up with his excuses.
