Learning notes
Explanation
หมด is highly sensitive to position. After a noun, it means that the thing is gone or used up, as in น้ำหมด “the water ran out,” เงินหมด “the money ran out,” and ของหมด “it is sold out.” After a verb, it means doing the action completely, as in กินหมด “eat it all,” ใช้หมด “use it up,” and อ่านหมด “read all of it.” The form หมดแล้ว is very common and means “it’s gone now” or “it’s finished now.”
Usage
This word is common in everyday conversation. You use it for sold-out items, eating or using something up, a dead phone battery, time running out, and also for states such as losing energy, hope, feelings, or consciousness.
Caution
กินหมด means “eat it all,” not “there is no food.” อาหารหมด means “the food is gone” or “the food is sold out.” Pay close attention to whether หมด follows a noun or a verb.
