filled
word · lemma: fill
Definition
Filled means made full, so that there is no empty space left or much less than before. It can describe containers, spaces, forms, or feelings.
Usage & Nuances
Often used as an adjective after 'be' or before a noun: 'The glass is filled' and 'a filled glass' are both possible, though 'full' is more common for everyday containers. 'Filled with' is very common for contents or emotions: 'filled with water', 'filled with hope'. For forms, 'filled in' or 'filled out' is usually more natural than just 'filled'.
