معنی
To receive praise or recognition for something.
زمینه فرهنگی
Children are often told to 'study hard to give face to parents.' This isn't seen as pressure, but as a way to repay the 'debt of gratitude' (Boun Khun) to their parents. In Lao offices, giving 'face' to your boss by performing well in front of clients is a key way to get promoted. It's about collective success. During festivals like Pi Mai (Lao New Year), families compete slightly to have the most beautiful float or the best food, all to 'Dai Na Dai Ta' in the village. The Lao government places high value on hosting international events (like ASEAN summits) to 'Dai Na Dai Ta' on the world stage, showing the country is developing.
Use it for others
It's much more polite to use this phrase to praise others than to talk about yourself.
Don't overdo it
If you say you 'got face' too much, people might think you are arrogant (O-uat).
