Use ပစ် (pyit) after a verb to show an action is done completely, decisively, or to get rid of something.
- Attach directly after the main verb: စား (eat) + ပစ် (pyit) = eat it all up.

자주 묻는 질문 (6)
Most action verbs that have a clear endpoint (like eat, cut, read) work well. Stative verbs like 'be tall' do not.
Not inherently, but it is forceful. In polite company, add `ပါ` (pa) to soften it.
`ပြီ` (pyi) is a tense marker for 'already'. `ပစ်` (pyit) is an auxiliary for 'completeness'. You often see them together: `စားပစ်ပြီ`.
No. That is the literal meaning, but as a particle, it just means 'thoroughly/completely'.
Yes, especially when describing the total destruction or removal of something in a report.
Burmese loves 'double' auxiliaries for emphasis. It makes the completion sound even more certain.
