What does ผอม mean?

Describes someone who is thin or skinny in appearance. Commonly used in everyday conversation to describe body type, often neutrally but can be sensitive depending on context. Thai speakers frequently use it when discussing weight, health, or physical appearance. Can be softened with 'หน่อย' (nɔ̀y) meaning 'a little' to sound less direct.
