意思
Statement made after finishing a meal.
文化背景
Hosts will often ignore your first 'ch-et haey' as a sign of 'polite refusal.' You may need to say it 2-3 times with a smile to actually stop the food from coming. It is considered polite to leave a tiny bit of food on your plate to show you are 'ch-et' (full). A completely clean plate suggests you are still hungry. The phrase is often used as a way to end a social visit. Once everyone is 'ch-et,' the conversation naturally winds down. In rural areas, 'ch-et' is a blessing. To be full is to be wealthy in spirit and health.
The Triple Refusal
Don't be surprised if people keep offering food after you say it once. It's a game of politeness. Say it three times to be sure!
Add a Smile
In Cambodia, a smile with 'ch-et haey' ensures the host knows you loved the food and aren't just being dismissive.

Avoid 'Penh'
Never use 'penh' for yourself unless you want to sound like a robot or a water tank.
The 'Already' Rule
Always include 'haey'. Just saying 'ch-et' sounds incomplete and slightly blunt.
