I have got used to speak Chinese for three years now.
and there is this Chinese expression that I can't find a match in English, its a character made of a body(rou), injure(yi), and a shell (bei). Pronouced as ni.
here is a dictionary entry for it.
adj. (Simp=腻, Pinyin=ni4) greasy, oily, tired, meticulous
v. (Simp=腻, Pinyin=ni4) be bored
but I don't feel this translation is correct for the feeling I want to express...
It's a feeling that when you eat too much of greasy food, you can't take it anymore, because you are NI.
