Stating that you have no free time.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Being 'busy' is a socially acceptable excuse for almost anything. It is rarely questioned, as it implies you are fulfilling duties to others. People in the South often use 'Kẹt rồi' (Stuck already) instead of 'Bận rồi'. It sounds slightly more casual and friendly. In the North, people might use more formal language and provide a brief reason after saying they are busy to maintain politeness. Saying 'Tôi bận rồi' to a client can be risky. It's better to say 'Tôi đang kẹt một chút' to sound like you are in demand but still care.

Always add 'nhé' or 'nha' at the end to make 'Tôi bận rồi' sound friendlier.
Pronoun Power
Using 'Tôi' with your mother or father will make them very angry. Use 'Con' instead!
