Did you know?
- The word agotado shares a root with the word gota, meaning 'drop'. Literally, it describes the state of having squeezed every last drop out of a supply.
- While 'sold out' in English often refers to events, in Spanish, if a concert is sold out, you might see the phrase Aforo completo on a sign. This literally means 'full capacity' and refers to the venue's limit rather than the sales process.
- Because agotado is the past participle of a verb meaning 'to exhaust', you can use it to describe a person who is completely worn out or tired. If you say Estoy agotado, people will think you need a nap rather than thinking you are sold out.
