French Expression 9

" En avoir marre de "- to be fed up with

Today  I am dealing with a popular / colloquial expression in French. Quite useful in your daily conversations. This expression is an exact equivalent of the English expression " to be fed up with "

J'en ai marre de tes conseils , Maman.

I am fed up with your advice, Mum.

Sometimes young girls talk to their mothers like that.

On en a marre des promesses du gouvernement .

We are fed up with the promises of the government .

J'en ai marre de résoudre ce problème .

I am fed up with solving this problem.

Remember to conjugate " avoir " suitably. After the preposition " de" you may either use a noun , a thing with which you are fed up or the infinitive of a verb indicating some action with which you are fed up.

Hope the use of this expression is clear to you.

Bonne journée !

Vous n'en avez pas marre de moi ?

You are not fed up with me ?
