Veelgestelde Vragen

What is the difference between 'harto' and 'lleno' when talking about food?

Both mean 'full,' but 'harto' is generally stronger and more expressive of total satiation, sometimes implying you've had more than enough. 'Lleno' is a more neutral way to say you are not hungry anymore.

Why does 'harto' sometimes mean 'full' and sometimes 'fed up'?

The core idea is 'being completely filled.' When applied to the stomach, it means full of food. When applied to emotions or patience, it means completely filled with annoyance or frustration.
