Hi Sokha! Yes, "fat" can sound quite impolite. It is much safer and more polite to use words like "Overweight" (for medical/general) or "Plump" (which sounds a bit softer and cuter). 🤫

Good question! Traditionally, "Beautiful" is used for women and things (like a sunset or a car), while "Handsome" is used specifically for good-looking men. If you want a word that works for both, you can use "Attractive" or "Good-looking"! ✨
