Acceptable word for Sulk - Page 2

En chile se usa: estar amurrado.

In Mexico they use "estar modorro" in a similar fashion (usually related to having just woken up). I wonder if it is etymologically related.

Interesting! In Chile to be amodorrado is to be sleepy. (as in just woken up) :-)

Yes, that's pretty much how "modorro" is used.

I wonder if it is used in Spain and how. Hopefully one of our friends will be able to tell us.

I had never heard "modorro", but I did "tener modorra" and "estar amodorrado" with the same sense you said.

Estoy amodorrado, me voy a echar una siestecita.
Iba conduciendo y me cogió una modorra tan grande que tuve que parar a descansar.

I have one questions about this post, during the time that you have posted in this post, you have set the word Sulk that meaning according as the dictionary from Tomisimo (Amorrado. But even so I have my doubt about that word if really meaning Morrado, but What does kind Amorrado it mean? I don't know because I'm stuff with the word and I don't grasp the completely the word, then if you are lovely with me in explain me more about that phrase, I will be strength to understand better the phrase as you do.

I can use the word sulk with this sentence.?

I'm sulk today for that reason I don't want to go with you to the cinema...

I'm right or I'm wrong.

Sulk significa con una cara larga.
Caundo algo pasa que te enoja pero no dice nada. Quedas silencioso pero
no calmado y con una cara larga.--así es sulk.

Exacto. Como dije antes, "estar de morros" = sulk.
Like when you see a child frowning, arms crossed, hunched shoulders and pouting. The pouting part would be the correlation with "estar de morros", as "morro" is a snout. :D

I thought "amorrado" was a Mexican word :confused:

I've never heard "amorrado" in Mexico.

"Estar amodorrado", "modorra" can be heard often though.

Yes, got it, thank you for your information.

No I don't think so, I have heard the word time before, but I don't believe that the phrase was born in Mexico although it word is very used in my country.

Thank you for your thought.

Sometimes you have to look for another word that means the same thing and maybe you can come up with an appropriate word in the other language.

For example......
sulk = bug up her/his


Anda de genio, anda de malas, está mulo/mula, anda de mírame y déjame, etc..........

:twocents:

En ese caso, en chile decimos "taimado/a"

Jajaja, It was very funny, buy I don't believe that it could to be the correct word in that case, because you word is very vulgar than other ones, I believe the word sulk is more as one idiom in English for example, three days ago I was thinking that the word would be also Estas mal.

For example I wanted meant in that phrase is.


You are sulk since four days ago, because you mother didn't wanted give you the money for your drunks.

So in your example Crotalito I would still say the person has a bug up his/her


I don't think it is vulgar. It may be a little off-color but not vulgar.

;)

Yes, but I think that the word sound very vulgar.

I don't know it's my thinking about it.

Surprise! I didn't know "off-color", but I understand you. Here is "subido de tono" (just on te contrary) :)

Esto me encanta porque muestra como funciona la cabeza a "mil por hora" :D
