Engaging in excessive talking or arguing.
Contexto cultural
In Myanmar, tea shops are social hubs where 'sagar myar' is actually a form of bonding. Men spend hours discussing everything from politics to the English Premier League. You must never use 'sagar myar' to describe a monk's sermon or an elder's advice. It is considered a 'low' word that devalues the speech of a superior. The concept of 'Anade' often prevents people from 'sagar myar' (arguing) even when they disagree, leading to a culture of indirect communication. On Myanmar Facebook, 'sagar myar' is used to describe 'keyboard warriors'. It's a common way to dismiss someone who is just looking for a fight online.
Tone Matters

The 'Ne' Particle
