TIRED ≠ JUST TIRED 😴
This time of the year, many of us feel bloody knackered, right? 😩
Well anyway, English has levels of tiredness. Here’s how to use these naturally 👇
• Exhausted 😵💫 – very tired, physically or mentally.

• Knackered 😩🇬🇧 – very informal British English; completely worn out.

• Shattered 🧠💥 – extremely tired, often mentally.

• Drained 🔋⬇️ – no energy left, often emotionally.
Dealing with people all day can be draining.
• Pooped 🏃♂️😮💨 – informal and light; usually after activity.
I’m pooped after that workout.
• Dead tired 🛌😴 – strong, dramatic tiredness.

• Worn out ⏳😔 – tired over a long period.

• Burnt out 🔥💼 – long-term exhaustion, especially from work.
