معنی
Telling someone to move or act quickly.
زمینه فرهنگی
The concept of 'Lao Time' means people are often relaxed about punctuality. Using 'ຟ້າວໄປ' is a way to break that norm when something is actually important. Never use 'ຟ້າວໄປ' with monks. It is considered highly disrespectful to rush a member of the Sangha. In Vientiane's growing business sector, 'ຟ້າວໄປ' is becoming more common in emails and texts as efficiency becomes a higher priority. When leaving someone's house, they might say 'ຢ່າຟ້າວໄປ' (Don't hurry to go). It's polite to stay a few minutes longer after they say this.
Double it up
Saying 'ຟ້າວໆ' (fao fao) makes you sound much more like a native speaker when you're in a real rush.
Tone matters
If you get the tone wrong on 'fao', people might think you're talking about clouds (fa) or guarding something (fao - different tone).

The 'Der' Factor
Always add 'ເດີ້' (der) at the end if you want to sound like a friendly person rather than a drill sergeant.
Body Language
Lao people often use a 'scooping' motion with their hand toward themselves or away when saying 'fao pai'.
