cansándose

Cansándose is the Spanish gerund form of the verb cansarse, which translates to "to get tired" or "to become tired" in English. The gerund form describes an ongoing or continuous action. Therefore, "cansándose" indicates the process of someone or something becoming tired. It's a verb form used to express that the state of being tired is in the process of happening.

For example, in a sentence like "El perro va cansándose" (The dog is getting tired), "cansándose" shows the gradual progression of the dog's fatigue. Similarly, "Se está cansándose de esperar" translates to "He/She is getting tired of waiting," where "cansándose" highlights the developing weariness with the act of waiting. This gerund form is often used with the verb "estar" to form the present progressive tense, emphasizing the immediate and ongoing nature of the tiring process. It can also be used in other grammatical constructions where a continuous action is being described. The root verb, "cansar," means to tire, and the reflexive "se" indicates that the subject is experiencing the tiredness themselves.
