"The opposite of hungry is full, while thirsty has no opposite. So, it’s confusing, right? Do you want to eat? No, I'm full. Do you want to drink? No, why? That's it. That's why we just created it," said Bunga explaining the origin of the idea.

She exemplified the use of the word in everyday sentences. "Do you want to drink? Not right now, I'm already galgah. Galgah, like that. It feels like my throat is already fresh, I'm already galgah," she added while laughing.
