Well, what about "bored" itself? "I'm bored with [whatever it is]".

You could also use "tired" or, more informally, "sick": "I'm tired/sick of [whatever it is]".

Another idiom is: "I've had enough of [whatever it is]".

I am really tired of these same old jokes.



However, be careful. If you sa

thanks, that helps me a lot. this might be a silly question, but how could I know if a word is a everyday word or "fancy" word. let's say , how do I know if the word "cloy" is used in daily english or not? the dictionary only give its definition~~~

Hi,

That's not an easy matter. It comes from experience with the language.

Do you read a lot of English, eg newpapers? Do you have a chance to speak with native speakers?

Sometimes it helps to search the internet for words and examples.

I don't read much many English and I don't have too many chances to speak with native speakers. but I do keep reading everyday news. I read them but I guess those words are written English and quite formal, I am not sure though. I agree language study is a long way to go.
