Significado
Easily becoming annoyed or angry.
Contexto cultural
Public displays of anger are generally frowned upon. Being 'Seik To' is seen as losing 'face' and failing to maintain 'Aye-say' (coolness). Subordinates will often use 'Seik To' to describe a boss they find difficult, but they will rarely say it to the boss's face. Sometimes, a partner might call the other 'Seik To Lay' (Little short-tempered one) as an affectionate teasing term. In Buddhist teachings, 'Seik To' is linked to 'Dosa' (hatred/anger), one of the three poisons. Overcoming it is a goal of meditation.
The 'Tat' Rule
Always add 'tat' (တတ်) if you're describing someone's personality rather than just a one-time mood.
Don't over-use
In Myanmar, calling someone 'Seik To' to their face can be seen as an insult. Use it carefully.
