Exhaustive Completion: หมด
When you eat the last bite of food, spend your last dollar, or use the last drop of soap, Thai uses a specific word to express this state of being "completely used up" or "all gone": หมด.
To show that an action has resulted in something being totally consumed, exhausted, or finished, you simply place หมด after the action verb, or after the object if there is one.
Everyday Consumables and Money
This pattern is incredibly common in daily life, especially when talking about running out of household supplies, ingredients, or spending money. Notice how หมด sits at the very end of the clause, right after the consumable item that has been used up.
Wiped Clean: Adding เกลี้ยง
If you want to emphasize that something is absolutely, utterly, and completely gone—leaving nothing behind—you can pair หมด with the word เกลี้ยง.
When placed together as หมดเกลี้ยง, it paints a picture of a plate licked clean, a budget drained to zero, or a room completely emptied. You will often see the particle เลย added at the end of the sentence to heighten the emotional emphasis of there being absolutely nothing left.
Running Out of the Abstract
Finally, หมด is not exclusively for physical supplies, food, or money. You can also use it when you are totally drained of an abstract resource, such as running completely out of patience.
