疲れてくる
解説 Definition
「get tired」は肉体的にも精神的にも疲労を感じるようになるという状態を表す。動作や時間の経過、集中し続けた結果として、だんだん力が入らなくなるときに使う。長時間の運動や連続した作業のあとに自然に出る言い方。
To start feeling tired or to become less full of energy. It is used when your body or mind needs rest after work, exercise, travel, or a long day. It often describes a gradual change, not a sudden one.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
get は「手に入れる」だけでなく「その状態になる」でも頻出。get tired は be tired の「疲れている」より、動いたり考え続けたりして「だんだん疲れてくる」変化に意識を置くと覚えやすい。get hungry, get sleepy, get worse と同じ型でまとめると定着しやすい。I got tired after working all day. のように、長時間の作業・勉強・移動のあとで自然。very tired は疲れの強さ、get tired は疲れ始める流れ。
Remember that `get` often means "become," not only "receive." So `get tired` is about a change: you were fine, and then you slowly became tired. Learn it with the same pattern: `get hungry`, `get sleepy`, `get worse`.
例文
I get tired after walking for hours.
何時間も歩くと疲れてくる。
If you stay up late, you get tired the next day.
夜更かしすると翌日疲れが出る。

get tired の語源・成り立ち Etymology
tiredは古英語teorian（疲れ果てる、弱る）が語源で、元は「力を使い果たす」意。getは古ノルド語geta（得る・到達する）から来て、状態変化を表す。get＋形容詞で「～になる」を意味し、関連語にretire（再び引く→退職する）がある。
The phrase combines `get`, from Old Norse `geta` meaning "obtain" or "reach," with `tired`, which comes from Old English `teorian`, meaning "grow weary" or "lose strength." In English, `get` often developed the sense of "become," so `get tired` came to mean "become weary." The older root behind `tired` is linked to the idea of using up one’s strength.
