Bedeutung
Wishing well for others.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Metta is considered a 'cool' (aye-chan) emotion, contrasting with 'hot' (pu-laung) emotions like anger. Sending metta is literally 'cooling' the world. Monks begin and end their day with Metta Po. It is believed to protect them from wild animals and spirits in the forest. On Burmese Facebook, 'Metta Po' is often used in place of 'Thoughts and Prayers' during national tragedies or personal losses.
The Power of Intention
When you say this, try to actually feel a sense of kindness. Burmese people value the 'Sait' (mind/heart) behind the words.
Use with 'Nay Tal'
Adding 'nay tal' (continuous) makes it sound like you are actively thinking of them right now, which is very touching.

3 FragenYes! While it has Buddhist roots, it's a cultural expression of goodwill used by people of all faiths in Myanmar.
Yes, but use the formal version 'မေတ္တာပို့သပါတယ်' (Metta po tha par tal) to show respect.
Metta is 'loving-kindness' (universal, no strings attached). 'Chit-chin' is 'love' (can be romantic or possessive).
