ớn is actually a verb, not an adjective.
It's just that the vietnamese verb structure is kinda confusing and many things that work as adjectives in English noun phrases actually need to be verb phrases in Vietnamese

So the verb actually means "to be sick of"
For example:
tôi ớn món xôi rổi
I am getting sick of sticky rice

Excess

Engorged

I get the definition of being, "sick of"... I guess in excess of something could be what I'm looking for because in this use I was saying that I was being a good boyfriend to my girlfriend and she replied, "Em ớn anh qúa!" (I've had enough of you!). Thoughts?

P.S. Ha! The imperfect google translate says that this translates to, "I'm too choked!"

Taking a class or using resources for self-study? If the latter, what are you using?

That reminds me, I was just reading about some German word yesterday for which there's apparently no exact English equivalent. But now I can't remember what the word was.

Oh, yes, found it. "Gaudi": "the rough and beery, jocular South German virility summed up in the untranslatable Bavarian-German word 'Gaudi.'"

self-study

I'm using a combination
One of my close friends is Vietnamese, so she helps me with it. I also use Duolingo.
In terms of books I use:
Tuttle Compact Vietnamese Dictionary (this is a great English-Viet, Viet-English dictionary)
Teach Yourself Vietnamese by Dana Healy
And then a couple of different linguistic books and articles I can get my hands on

Vietnamese grammar is stupidly easy. Assuming you're like me and have no connection to Vietnam, the only hard thing to learn is the pronunciation, but once you have that, the rest is a walk in the park.
