    Mmm... I don't know if in Spain the word "molia" means anything, but in my opinion it's a typo mistake... I guess this person wanted to say "estoy molida", which means "I'm exhausted" or very, very tired...

    Hope it helps!

    Hello,
    Happy to help you, Spanish is my native language , molia is an slang and comes from the verb Moler, that means to smash. Then estoy molia, which by the way is written wrong because it should by molía with accent, means I am extremely tired, or I am destroyed depending on the context.

    I hope this can help you, and I hope that person is molia had a rest and is better jhjjaa


    Bye

    Are you saying molia (molía) is a slang way to say molida?

    yes , but depending on the context, look the following

    Yo estaba molia, this is a deformation of Yo estaba molida, and there the slang, meaning I was exhausted. This is because in oral Spanish, speaking fast some people do not pronounce "d" deforming the words, but we Spanish speakers understand it, the problem is for foreigns that sometimes get confused.

    To be clear, the verb moler, molido in its past form, is slang when used to express that a person is exhausted.

    Thanks, I figured it was something like "I'm exhausted" ... the only translation I ever got from online translation tools were "I'm grinding"

    Funny how that relates to life "being a grind" which makes it....exhausting!
