The word "harto" is commonly used in Spanish to express a feeling of being fed up, tired, or annoyed with something. It conveys a sense of reaching one's limit or threshold regarding something bothersome or unpleasant. "Harto" can be used in both formal and informal contexts, though it is more frequently found in spoken language than in written text.

While "harto" may not have extensive idiomatic expressions tied specifically to it, it appears in phrases that reflect the sentiment of being fed up or annoyed. Here are a few examples:
