Definition
- Adjective:
- Swollen, bulging (of the belly): Describes a state where the abdomen appears enlarged or protrudes, often due to being full of food, gas, or fluid.
- (Colloquial) Pregnant, big with child: Used informally to describe a woman who is visibly pregnant.

Advanced Usage
- This word is primarily used in informal, colloquial speech. It vividly describes a physical state of abdominal distension.
- It often carries a slightly humorous or descriptive tone rather than a clinical one. For a medical condition like bloating, words like "đầy hơi" or "chướng bụng" are more common.
- When used to mean "pregnant," it is very informal and can be considered crude or insensitive in polite conversation. More standard terms are "có thai," "mang thai," or "có bầu."
