Kenyang

Kenyang is an adjective in Indonesian and Malay that means full or satiated, particularly after eating. It describes the state of having consumed enough food and feeling that the stomach is full. In everyday speech, people say “Saya kenyang” to express “I am full,” or refer to a meal with phrases like “perut kenyang.” The term is commonly used in conversations, menus, and media to indicate satisfaction with a meal. It is often contrasted with “lapar,” meaning hungry, and can be intensified with modifiers such as “sangat kenyang” (very full) or “kenyang sekali.”

Kenyang also appears in related formations such as “kekenyangan,” which can denote the state of excessive fullness or gluttony. The word is native to Malay and Indonesian and is part of standard vocabularies in both languages. While etymological details are not typically outlined in general dictionaries, kenyang is considered a basic, widely understood term for fullness in Indonesian and Malay usage.
