The concept of 'An-ah-de' (feeling reluctant to impose) often leads people to use 'စောင့်ကြည့်' as a polite way to delay a decision without saying 'no'. In Myanmar business, 'saung kyi' is a common strategy during periods of inflation or policy change. It's seen as wise rather than indecisive.

Traditional healers often ask families to 'saung kyi' the effect of a herbal remedy over three days, reflecting a belief in gradual healing.
