Question:
Need help from someone who speaks Spanish better than me?

I need help with a few words that, while I know the supposed translation, they aren't making any sense in the context of the conversation...."Estoy jodido", and the word "freganda". I DO speak Spanish some, however the translations I know of for these words do not make any sense. Can anyone tell me what a native Spanish speaker would mean by these words? Thanks!

Estoy jodido - I am screwed.



Freganda- The word "fregar" means 'scrub'. Freganda would be an impersonal conjugation of the word, meaning it refers to someone doing the action of scrubbing, but does not identify a person or persons to associate the word with.



Edit: If they're not making sense in a piece of text, consider the possibly they are used as slang. The word freganda (or fregada, however you have it written) may very well having nothing to do with actually scrubbing something. Slang doesn't translate well between languages.

Freganda is not a word, not in spanish anyways. Estoy Jodido means IM FCUKED!





To Say someone is Fregada, is to say you're in a mess or you have made a mess of things (pertaining to your current situation) Hope this helps!

i think i would need the context..

but here in Spain, estar jodido means:

-to be f*cked up!



fregada= the female word for the adjective "scrubbed" yes..



and someone gave a sense to the word "freganda", it doesn't have any sense because it should be " fregando" which means "scrubbing"..and the impersonal forms, verbs in general, don't have genders so it's impossible to have a female form of an impersonal verb..impossible.

Estoy jodido= I'm screwed up or f*cked up.

Fregada= Ando fregado(a)= I'm in a real mess or

I'm in terrible shape.

The real equivalent of "estoy jodido" (ending in "o" means it is a male) is "I'm f...cked up". "Fregando" does not exist in the Spanish language. It might be that what you heard or read is "fregando", which is the present tense of "fregar". This last word translates into ONE kind of "wash". By this I mean than in Spanish instead of saying "I'm doing the dishes", you say "estoy fregando", which would mean that you are washing all kintchen utensils, not the dishes only. But if you want to say that you are washing just the dishes, then you say "estoy fregando los platos".



In English you may say "I'm washing my clothes". But when it is clothing, in Spanish that "washing" would translate into "lavando", not into "fregando". So, it is correct to say in Spanish "estoy lavando mi ropa", but not "estoy fregando mi ropa". On the other side, it would be correct that insteand of saying "estoy fregando los platos" you may say "estoy lavando" los platos. In such instance, "lavando" and "fregando" are synonyms. But once you say "fregando", it means that it is not your clothing. In some places in South America "fregar" is also used instead of "lavar", but again, only for certain things. In Mexico, for example (the Spanish spoken in Mexico is certainly one of the most distant from the Spanish from Spain and from other places in HIspanic America), the say "fregar el piso", meaning "to wash the floor". But not in any other places. In Spain you "clean" the floor, and in Argentina and Chile, as well. (to clean==limpiar).



Well, that is enough for now. I hope I have been of some help. I have to go to work, even though it is Saturday. May you have a great week-end. Adian.

Estoy jodida - I'm f**ked



Freganda??? not Spanish

Fregando - he is mopping ( the floor) or washing the dishes.

Yes you are right - fregada means scrubbed ( feminine) -

Can't you just go ask someone at Taco Bell or Mcdonalds. I think they are both open late.
