agüitarse

to become saddened; to feel let down or disillusioned

Usage

Mexican colloquial verb meaning to feel sad, down, or discouraged — no te agüites, mañana será otro día. Warm and commonly used to comfort someone, roughly "don't let it get you down," from a Nahuatl root related to feeling dazed or dejected.

Examples
  • Se agüitó mucho cuando no le dieron el trabajo. — He got really down when he didn't get the job.
  • No te agüites, todo va a salir bien. — Don't be sad, everything's going to be fine.
  • Ando agüitado desde que se fue mi mejor amigo. — I've been feeling down since my best friend left.
Common mistake

Using agüitarse outside Mexico expecting it to be understood — it's a strongly Mexican regionalism; deprimirse or desanimarse are the words to use for the same feeling elsewhere.
