Someone who helps with small tasks.
Contexto cultural
The role of a 'lat-to-lat-taung' is essential during 'Ah-lu' (donation ceremonies). It's seen as a way for young people to gain merit. In small Burmese businesses, the 'lat-to-lat-taung' often becomes the most trusted person because they know all the small details of the operation. The youngest child is traditionally the 'lat-to-lat-taung' for the whole family, a role that comes with both chores and extra affection. In modern apartments, neighbors often act as 'lat-to-lat-taung' for elderly residents, reflecting the 'neighborly spirit' (A-ni-sat-thaw-sway).
Use with 'Little Brother/Sister'

Avoid with Bosses
Never use this for someone higher in rank than you.
