The Chinese word 饱 means “full” or “satisfied” in English. It is commonly used to describe the feeling of being full after eating a meal. For example, if someone asks you if you are still hungry after you finish your meal, you can reply “我饱了”, which means “I am full/satisfied”. The word 饱 can also be used in a figurative sense to describe being satisfied with something other than food, such as being satisfied with one’s work or accomplishments.
