意思
Asking if someone has finished eating
文化背景
Asking 'Im rue yang' is a sign of 'Nam Jai'. Even if you say you are full, a Thai host might offer you fruit or dessert immediately after. It is polite to wait for the eldest person to ask 'Im rue yang' or signal the end of the meal before you stand up. In villages, people might ask 'Im rue yang' to passersby as a general friendly greeting, similar to 'How are you?'. In fast-paced city life, 'Im yang' is a functional tool to coordinate group movements between malls or offices.
The 'Dessert Stomach'
Even if someone says 'Im laew', it's very common to follow up with 'But do you have room for dessert?' (แต่ยังกินขนมได้นะ).
Don't be too blunt
Always add 'khrap' or 'kha' if you are talking to someone you don't know well. 'Im yang' alone can sound like you're rushing them.

The 'Kreng Jai' Response
If a Thai person says 'Im laew' very quickly, they might be being polite. Look at their plate—if it's still full, they might need more encouragement!
