“Tener un humor de perros” is a nice Spanish idiomatic expression which can be literally translated with “to have the mood of dogs” and means “to be in a bad mood“.
So when you are having a bad day and you are not very keen to talk, now you know how to discourage people in Spanish!
Here you have some examples:
| Spanish | English |
| A Juan no le concedieron el aumento de sueldo y lleva todo el día con un humor de perros | Juan didn’t get the salary increase and he spent all day in a bad mood |
| Ellos tienen un humor de perros porque no aprobaron los exámenes en la universidad | They are in a bad mood because they didn’t pass their exams at the university |
| Si no podía hacer lo que le daba la gana, tenía un humor de perros | If he couldn’t get what he wanted, he was in a bad mood. |
Do you know any other similar expression in Spanish?
