Say that a meal has satisfied your hunger and respond when someone offers more.

The idea

Doydum presents the result: “I’m full”. Use doymayacağım for not becoming full in the future. After human plural çocuklar, both doydu and doydular are possible.

Watch out

Eating does not guarantee fullness: yemek names the action, while doymak says hunger is satisfied.
