So what does today's Word of the Day mean?
Pesado means 'heavy' or 'slow'. So when we look at it in a sentence:
- ¡Mi mochila es muy pesada!
My backpack is so heavy!
- Me siento muy pesado hoy.
I'm not on top of my game today
When referring to other people, pesado means annoying or irritating:
- ¡Mi primo es muy pesado!
My cousin is so annoying!
- No seas pesado, tío
Don't go on about it, mate.
We can also use the verb ponerse – when talking about someone temporarily being annoying or becoming annoying.
- El bebe se pone muy pesado cuando tiene sueño.
The baby gets really tiresome when he's tired.
Pronunciation:
peh-sa-doh
