cansancio - masculine noun (el) - weariness, tiredness, fatigue. Look up cansancio in the dictionary

Después de trabajar todo el día, estoy muerto de cansancio.
After working all day, I am completely exhausted.

Hola buenos tardes de Español

Estoy muerta de cansancio, estoy falto de un café con leche !!
I have been saying 'soy muy consada '???? (I am very tired)- should I have been saying 'estoy muerta de cansancio ??

muchas gracias Ruby

"Estoy muerta de cansancio, ¡necesito un café con leche!"

"estoy falto" is more used for general things like "estoy falto de café","estoy falto de cariño","estoy falto de sueño"

Saludos :D

¡claro!

cariño - fondness/tenderness
sueño - dream/sleep

nuevo palabras para mi

muchas gracias sosia (I love your location !!)

A little corrections in your post.

[QUOTE=sosia;16229]"Estoy muerta de cansancio, [S] y necesito un café con leche!"

Está bien sin o con la palabra "y" ¿no?

Ok. I think they are both grammatically correct, and are stylistic differences. :)

(I) agree with that, and thanks for your corrections.
Have you seen any progress in my English?
Tell me the truth. :thumbsup:

You have posted some sentences that have no errors. That's great!
You're making progress. Keep working to improve your English. :)

:confused: What you wrote doesn't make sense.
Were you trying to say eso me inspira más (that inspires me more) or something else?

Ruby,

It's OK to say estoy muy cansada when you're very tired.
estar cansado,-a = to be tired

The saying David provided is a colloquial way to say "I'm beat/exhausted/dead tired." Another quaint saying is estoy hecha polvo.

Rusty

Because you didn't write that.
I asked because what you wrote didn't make sense.
I suppose, from your answer, that I guessed correctly.
