las

The French word "las" is an adjective and is somewhat old-fashioned or literary. It means "weary," "tired," or "exhausted" — not necessarily physically, but often emotionally or mentally tired.

Examples:

• Il est las de ses efforts. → He is weary of his efforts.
• Je suis las de cette situation. → I am tired of this situation.

Synonyms and differences:

• Fatigué: The most common word for "tired," usually physical tiredness.
• Épuisé: Means "exhausted," often conveying a stronger sense of fatigue.
• Las: More poetic or formal, emphasizing emotional or long-lasting weariness.
• Crevé (colloquial): Very informal way to say "dead tired."

So, "las" has a nuance of deep, almost melancholic tiredness, and is less commonly used in everyday speech than "fatigué."
