How to Use "バテバテ"

その馬はレースの前半で飛ばし過ぎて、最後はバテバテになった。 The horse ran too fast during the first half of the race, so it ran out of stamina at the end.

“バテバテ” means that someone is exhausted. It comes from a slangy verb, “バテる,” which means “to get exhausted.”

Hiroshi: 最近歳を感じるんだ。 I’ve been thinking that I've become old these days.
Taro: どうしてだい。 What makes you think so?
Hiroshi: 疲れやすいんだよ。平日なんか3時過ぎるころにはバテバテさ。 I get tired easily. When it comes to my weekdays, I am always exhausted after three o’clock in the afternoon.
