Significado
Missing one's home or family.
Contexto cultural
The 'Ban' is the center of the Lao universe. Even city dwellers identify strongly with their 'Ban Koet' (birth village). For the diaspora, 'khit hot ban' is a powerful collective sentiment often expressed through community gatherings and traditional music. Isan people speak a dialect very similar to Lao and use 'khit hot' in the same way, often in 'Luk Thung' music. This is the peak time for 'khit hot ban' as millions travel back to their villages to perform water blessings for their elders.
Add 'De'
Add 'ເດ' (de) at the end to sound more natural and expressive: 'ຄິດຮອດບ້ານເດ'.
Don't use with 'Heuan'
Avoid saying 'khit hot heuan' (miss house) unless you literally miss the building. Use 'ban' for the feeling of home.
