How it's used

Originally derived from the context of eating, this expression has expanded to describe any situation where one feels unsatisfied or wants more. It carries a slightly playful or informal tone, often used when someone is enjoying an experience so much that they are reluctant for it to stop. It is particularly common when discussing entertainment, hobbies, or craving specific foods.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 唔夠, which is a neutral statement of quantity. 未夠喉 specifically implies a subjective feeling of desire or longing for more, rather than a simple lack of resources.
