Usage Note

Ilusionado is a false friend: it does NOT mean 'illusioned' (deceived) but rather 'full of excited anticipation or hope'. Estoy muy ilusionado con el viaje means 'I'm really excited about the trip.' The negative desilusionado means 'disappointed', not 'disillusioned'.

Examples

"Estaba muy ilusionada con la boda."

Natural Translation

She was very excited about the wedding.
