The most common way to say sold out in Spanish is agotado, but the best translation depends on what has sold out and how complete the sentence needs to be. In practice, a product may be agotado, tickets may estar agotadas, or a venue may be completo. Understanding these differences will help you sound natural in stores, online shops, concerts, restaurants, and everyday conversations.
Introduction: The Basic Translation
The word agotado is the standard Spanish equivalent of sold out when describing an item that is no longer available. It comes from the verb agotar, meaning “to use up,” “to exhaust,” or “to deplete.”
- Agotado — sold out; masculine singular
- Agotada — sold out; feminine singular
- Agotados — sold out; masculine or mixed plural
- Agotadas — sold out; feminine plural
The adjective must agree with the noun it describes:
- El libro está agotado. — The book is sold out.
- La camiseta está agotada. — The T-shirt is sold out.
- Los zapatos están agotados. — The shoes are sold out.
- Las entradas están agotadas. — The tickets are sold out.
In many situations, Spanish speakers use a complete phrase rather than translating sold out word for word.
How to Say “We’re Sold Out”
The English sentence “We’re sold out” does not always become “Estamos agotados.” Although that translation can be understood, it may sound as if the people themselves are exhausted or unavailable. More natural options include:
- Se agotó. — It sold out.
- Se agotaron. — They sold out.
- No nos queda ninguno. — We do not have any left.
- No nos quedan entradas. — We do not have any tickets left.
- No hay existencias.
