How can you say “I’m exhausted” besides “είμαι εξαντλημένος-η-ο» but rather using colloquial or slang phrases? In English would be something like “worn out”, “drained”, “wasted”, «dead” etc
So, here are the most common phrases that are used in more informal and friendly situations.
1. «είμαι κομμάτια»
2. «είμαι πτώμα»
3. «είμαι χώμα»
4. «είμαι ράκος»
+ (από την κούραση)
You can use them adding or not the phrase in the parentheses.
Πχ
-Θα έρθεις μαζί μας στο πάρτυ;
-Μπα, δε νομίζω! Βγήκα χθες και είμαι κομμάτια σήμερα!

How to feel happ
Instead of comparing yourself to natives or others, create the habit of comparing yourself to yourself, to the “ old you”, when you started this journey as a beginner student-learner in Greek!
.
See how much you have grown, what you have achieved and what progress you have made towards your goal. This habit has the benefit of creating gratitude, appreciation and kindness towards yourself as you observe how far you have come, the obstacles you have overcome and the solutions you came up with in order to move forward.

You feel good about yourself without having to think less o ..read more

So the article in front would be «τα» and then the adjective of nationality in neutral plural (most common ending is in “-ικά” with a lot of exceptions like σουαχίλι, φαρσί, ζουλού, μαορί, ουρντού, μπενγκάλι κ.α
-Η μητρική μου γλώσσα είναι τα ελληνικά. Μιλάω πολύ καλά αγγλικά και ιταλικά, αρκετά καλά γαλλικά και λίγο ισπανικά.
