to one's heart content

[wuminh]

Dear:

Example: I have been supporting you a lots.
1) Isn't that to your heart's content?
2) Are you content with that?
3) Do you content yourself to that?

Do they have the same meaning (1,2,3) ? which one more make sense and more used in everyday conversation?

thanks

NOT A TEACHER

I think nr 2 makes most sense.

All three have slightly different meanings

There's a pretty common expression: to eat to one's heart's content

#1 and #2 could both be used. The better one is #2. #3 is ungrammatical.

As to common use, none are particularly common.

I agree with Anglika except that the first sentence should be: I have been supporting you a lot. You can say a lot, or, less formally, lots, but not a lots.

I agree although I would go a little farther -- #1 sounds strange. A more common response might be, "Are you OK with that?"
