Answer 26

loaded, full Here are a few examples of how it’s used: 1. Crowded Place: • Le bar était blinde hier soir. (The bar was packed last night.) In this context, “blinde” means that the bar was very crowded with people. 2. Loaded with Money: • Il est blinde. (He is loaded/rich.) Here, “blinde” suggests that someone has a lot of money, similar to saying “he’s loaded” in English. 3. Stuffed with Food: • Je suis blinde. (I’m stuffed.) This usage indicates that someone has eaten a lot and feels very full. So, “blinde” conveys an idea of being filled to capacity or having an abundance of something, often in an exaggerated or emphatic way.
