Bedeutung
Putting oneself in another's shoes.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Empathy is linked to the concept of 'Karma.' By empathizing with others, you are practicing good mental deeds that bring positive merit. In business negotiations, showing that you 'Ko-chin-sar' the other party's constraints can lead to much better deals than aggressive posturing. Children are taught from a young age to 'Ko-chin-sar' their parents' hard work to provide for them. Monks often use this phrase in sermons to explain why one should follow the Five Precepts (e.g., not killing because we empathize with the victim's fear).
The 'Par' Rule
Always add 'par' (ကိုယ်ချင်းစာပါတယ်) if you are speaking to someone older than you. It makes the empathy sound more respectful.
Body Language
When saying this, a slight tilt of the head and a soft gaze shows that you truly 'compare' your heart to theirs.
