How can you say 'to be full' in French to mean that you are pregnant?

Question

I accidentally said this one time when I was full from eating so much, but I can't remember how to say it now.

merci :)

Answer 1

I believe it's "Je suis pleine," which is the literal translation for "I am full," only "pleine" is used for "pregnant" when talking about animals.

Answer 2

haha thats very funny not sure

Answer 3

If you say 'je suis pleine' ('I am full') it sounds very strange to a French speaker - since 'pleine' ('full') is what you call cattle who are pregnant.

A person cannot really say 'je suis pleine' for 'I am pregnant'. It should be 'je suis enceinte'.

You also need to be careful with 'je suis froide' ('I am cold') - which means 'I am frigid.'

If you are full at the end of a meal say 'je n'ai plus de faim'.

If you are cold: 'j'ai froid'.
