Expressing surprise or seeking confirmation.
Contexto cultural
In Burmese culture, showing interest in others' lives is a sign of affection. Using 'တကယ်လား' is a way to show you care. Similar to Thai or Lao, Burmese uses particles to soften questions. 'တကယ်လား' is polite and non-confrontational. In Western cultures, 'Really?' can sometimes sound skeptical. In Burmese, it is usually interpreted as genuine interest. This phrase is a universal conversational tool. It helps maintain the flow of dialogue across almost all cultures.

Don't overthink it
It's a very casual phrase. Don't worry about being perfectly grammatical.
