In teashops, 'တစ်ခါတလေ' is used to discuss the availability of specific snacks like 'Samosas' or 'E-kyar-kway' which might sell out early. Burmese people use 'sometimes' to avoid a direct 'no' or to show modesty about their skills. When talking about going to the Pagoda, people use 'တစ်ခါတလေ' if they aren't daily devotees but go on special days. On Burmese Facebook, 'တစ်ခါတလေ' is a keyword for 'relatable' posts about life's ups and downs.
