maybe there should just be a general thread for asking how to say things in Esperanto, since it'd make searching through the forums easier, but in any event, is there a word for "jaded" in Esperanto?
Reta Vortaro gives "laca," but tired and jaded are, at least in my mind, two very different things. I think I could be ok with using "seniluziigxi" but I just wanted to check whether there were any other options.
Thanks.

Here's a few suggestions. As your message suggests, the Esperanto word that we use should reflect the meaning of "jaded" that we want in the foreground. For "tired", laca might do. For emphasizing that energy has run out, you might use elĉerpita if you want to emphasize the process, or perhaps senenergia if you want to emphasize the result. For "satiated", there's sata.

Correction: note that I've removed the prefix mal from malsata. That would make it the opposite.
