Explanation
คุยโว combines the idea of talking with a sense of talking big. It is not just ordinary speaking; it implies that the person is bragging, exaggerating, or trying to make themselves look better than they really are. It is common in everyday speech but usually has a negative tone.
Usage
It is often used when someone talks up their income, achievements, skills, connections, romantic experience, possessions, or similar things. It fits casual conversations where you are criticizing someone for bragging or warning others not to believe everything they say.
Caution
Saying คุณคุยโว directly to someone can sound insulting, like calling them a braggart or saying they are full of themselves. In polite or formal situations, พูดเกินจริง is usually safer and more neutral.
