mi do ckire lo nu do te pinka doi lindar

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tire says for "tire (v.)":
"3. to have the strength reduced or exhausted, as by labor or
exertion; become fatigued; be sleepy.
4. to have one's appreciation, interest, patience, etc., exhausted;
become or be weary; become bored (usually fol. by of ): He soon tired
of playing billiards."

So, is "tatpi" just for sense 3, or does it also include sense 4? Is
it just exhaustion of strength, or also of interest or patience? The
wording of the gi'uste, which includes "situation" for the x2,
suggests that it also applies to exhaustion of patience. If not, what
do you suggest instead?
