المعنى
Describing someone who talks a lot.
خلفية ثقافية
Teashops are the heart of Myanmar social life. Being 'sagar myar' here is expected and seen as a sign of being well-informed and friendly. Because of Ar-nar-de, people might not tell you directly that you are 'sagar myar' (talking too much) even if they are annoyed. Watch for non-verbal cues. Parents often use 'sagar myar' to brag about their children's intelligence, as early and frequent talking is seen as a sign of a 'bright' child. In local markets (zays), 'sagar myar' is part of the haggling ritual. It's a verbal dance between buyer and seller.
Use it for kids
It's a very safe and cute way to describe children who are learning to talk.
Watch your tone
If you say it with a frown, it means 'You're arguing.' If you say it with a smile, it means 'You're chatty.'

The 'Arguing' Marker
If you see 'ကြ' (kya) added, like 'စကားများကြတယ်', it almost always means a group of people is arguing.
