Can we say "I'm replete", when I have had food and I am full.

Hi,

Can we say "I m replete", when I have had food and I am full.

What is correct usage of the word "replete"

Thanks

[Kitosdad]

You are correct in your understanding. Replete meaning to be full.

It can also apply to other things, like a car, which is replete of every conceivable extra.

Hello guys,

I just say "I'm full".

Is it a polite way?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rosario,

'Replete' is the posh word - 'full' is basic,
