    happy What would you say if ...?

    Just for some fun, I will give you some situations every day and you have to tell me what you would say.

    1. You have eaten a lot and are full.

    Ha! You must have been reading my posts where I said that telling people I was full was crucial to my survival when I was in Thailand.
    This sounds like a very useful series...

    OK, well I guess you should say something like
    ผมกินมากแล้วครับ ผมอิ่มแล้วครับ
    but in practice I would probably just say
    อิ่มแล้ว อิ่มแล้ว

    well done mike! here are some different ways of saying the same thing:

    - กินไม่ไหวแล้วครับ/ค่ะ
    - กินไม่ลงแล้วครับ/ค่ะ
    - จะอ้วกแล้วครับ/ค่ะ (only to close one)
    etc.

    does anyone know more of these?

    Yes, don't say it to the mother-in-law. She might take it the wrong way!
