be beyond (something)

1. To be physically past something. The store is just beyond that hill—you'll see it soon enough. Our cell phone coverage should improve once we get beyond the mountains. Once we get beyond that buoy, we'll have to turn around.

2. To have rectified some problem or situation. Now that we're beyond those financial issues, I finally feel less stressed. I think Grandpa will be much less irritable once he's beyond this illness. Everything will be better once we're beyond exams.

3. To be experiencing a more extreme degree of some emotion. A: "Are you mad about what he said?" B: "Oh, I'm beyond mad—I'm furious!" I am beyond happy that my BFF is coming to visit this weekend! The kids are beyond excited to go to Disney World tomorrow.

4. To be at a point or position at which something is not or no longer possible. I was upset about the situation at first, but it has become so drawn out that I'm beyond caring at this point. That fence is beyond repair, it's so rotten. You're better off tearing it down and putting up a new one. Living in Paris was beyond my wildest dreams when I was a broke college student.
