arto

"Arto" is a colloquial variation of "harto," meaning "fed up" or "tired of" something in English.

In a sentence

  • Estoy arto de hacer lo mismo todos los días.

    I'm fed up with doing the same thing every day.

    The word 'arto' in this sentence is used to express a feeling of being fed up or tired of something; however, 'arto' is a commonly misspelled form of 'harto', which is the correct term.

  • Arto trabajo fue necesario para terminar el proyecto.

    A large amount of effort was necessary to finish the project.

    In this example, 'arto' incorrectly attempts to convey the idea of 'a lot' or 'large amount'; the proper spelling and usage would be 'harto trabajo'.

  • Está tan enfermo que su cara parece arto pálida.

    He is so ill that his face looks quite pale.

    In this case, 'arto' is mistakenly used as an intensifier; the intended phrase might have been 'harto pálida', indicating very pale.
