Metido de lleno

[poli]

In full force? Fully motivated?

[Tomisimo]

How about "all the way in"? Do you have the full sentence where it was used?

[poli]

Your definition seems right David,and now it seems obvious. To be difinitely in.
Thanks,

[Tomisimo]

No problem. "De lleno" can be used in many contexts to mean fully, completely, totally, etc.

[sosia]

agree. "Completely in"/"Fully in"
Saludos :D

[JPablo]

I also agree...
de lleno = fully
se dedicó de lleno a su trabajo = she dedicated herself fully/entirely to her job
el sol le daba de lleno en la cara = the sun was full on his face/was shining directly on his face. :)

[viveka]

and, "to the brim."
depending on context.

[JPablo]

Yes, I agree with "to the brim" or even "brimming"... in specific contexts.
