معنی
Describing high diligence.
زمینه فرهنگی
Diligence is linked to the concept of 'Viriya' in Buddhism. It is seen as a way to improve one's life and the lives of one's parents. In Khmer offices, being 'ussah' is often valued more than being 'smart' but lazy. Showing up early and staying late is a visible sign of 'ussah'. For farmers, 'ussah' is defined by waking up before dawn to tend to the rice fields. It is a survival trait. The term has become a popular 'sticker' or comment on platforms like TikTok and Facebook to support friends' side-hustles.
