Today's Dominican Word: Jarto(a) (Harto/a) – this word means to be full at capacity of something. It can be used when you are done eating and you have a stuffed belly, or when you are tired of arguing / dealing with someone, you had it with that person.

Dominican: 1. Me comi un plato de arroz con habichuelas, chuleta frita, y platanos fritos, estoy contento y jarto.

2. Manuel me tiene cansado de hablar de su ex-novio, me tiene jarto con el mismo tema.

English: 1. I ate some rice and beans with pork chops, my stomach is full (jarto).

2. I am tired of Manuel talking about his ex-grilfriend, I’m fed up (jarto) with the same topic.
