cháy túi
literally: burning pocket
To be broke
Built from
- cháy to burn
- túi pocket, bag
Your pocket burned. Not spent, not lost: burned, gone in one go. The verb does the work, and the same cháy turns up in cháy hàng for a product that sold out.
How people actually use it
Cuối tháng rồi, cháy túi luôn.
It's the end of the month, I'm broke.
Who can you say it to? Fine with anyone your age.
