How to use it
อึดอัดùet-àt covers physical and social discomfort at once: a stuffy room, a tight waistband, a too-full stomach, or an awkward silence at a family dinner. When something makes you uneasy rather than cramped, Thais also say ไม่สบายใจmâi sà-baai-jai. Sick, though, is ไม่สบายmâi sà-baai.
