The Vietnamese word "no nê" refers to the state of being very full after eating, essentially meaning "to satiety" or "to be stuffed." It describes the feeling you have when you have eaten enough food, and you can’t eat anymore because you feel completely satisfied.

Usage Instructions:

• You can use "no nê" to describe how you feel after a big meal or when you’ve eaten your favorite dish and you are completely satisfied.
• It is commonly used in everyday conversation, especially when discussing meals or eating experiences.

Example:

• After a big dinner: "Sau bữa tối, tôi cảm thấy no nê." (After dinner, I feel very full.)
• When eating a favorite dish: "Cơm này ngon quá, tôi ăn no nê rồi!" (This rice is so delicious; I’m stuffed!)

Advanced Usage:

• "No nê" can also be used metaphorically to describe emotional satisfaction. For example, if you are very happy or fulfilled in a non-physical sense, you might say you feel "no nê" in your heart.

Word Variants:

• There are no direct variants of "no nê," but it can be used in different contexts with various foods or meals.
• A related phrase is "ăn no," which simply means "to eat until full," but does not carry the same sense of being overly full as "no nê."

Different Meanings:

• "No nê" primarily conveys a sense of fullness from eating, but can also imply a sense of abundance or being satisfied in various aspects of life, though the primary meaning is focused on physical fullness.

Synonyms:

• "No" (full) - This is a simpler term that also means "full" but doesn’t carry the same nuance as "no nê."
• "Chán" (bored/over it) - In some contexts, when someone is "no nê," they might also feel bored with food, as in they've eaten too much of it.
