When a person's voice is hoarse

[alpacinou]

I want to say a person's voice is hoarse as a result of shouting. Can I say "hoarse with"?

At the stadium, John shouted until his throat gave out. After the match, his voice was badly hoarse with all the screams of "Go United, Go United". United, though, would be crushed by Liverpool, making his wife wonder about the pointlessness of his screams. John, however, was bent on doing the same next week when United would play against Lester.

It's okay. For some reason, I'm a bit bothered by 'badly hoarse', though. I'm not sure I've ever heard that. We usually just say something like 'very hoarse' or 'really hoarse', although there's no grammatical reason 'badly' shouldn't work.

I think I would say "because of" there, but your version is not terrible.

(He was hoarse because of all the screaming and yelling in support of his team.)

That's probably Leicester.

That's probably Leicester.

Now I'll know who to root for.

I come from Leicester, so let's hope they trash the opposition.

I don't like it. "Hoarse from" the screams works.

"Shouting oneself hoarse" is a more common phrase.
