How it's used
Focuses on a sense of healthy fullness or roundedness rather than just being filled to the brim. While it can describe physical objects like fruit or bread, it is frequently applied to abstract concepts like energy, spirit, or even the tone of one's voice. It carries a positive connotation of vitality and completeness.
Examples
Her face is rosy and looks very full and healthy.
This bread is baked to be so plump and full, it looks very tempting.
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 滿, which simply means full in a container sense. 飽滿 implies a specific, often aesthetic, plumpness or richness that 滿 lacks.
