Meanings and usage

phrase: have you eaten?, how are you (a common greeting)
吃飽了嗎

The everyday greeting, literally "eaten full not-yet" — an enquiry after someone's wellbeing rather than a literal question about food. Its own entry rather than a sense on 食, 飽 or 未, since the gloss describes the whole string; cf. 新年好 and 多謝.

Examples

  • 你食飽未 (le2 ziah8 ba2 bhuê7) — Have you eaten yet? (addressed to someone)
