معنی
Interfering in other people's business.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Myanmar, the 'Auntie' culture is famous for 'chay-shay'. Older women often feel it is their duty to monitor the youth, which is seen as both caring and meddling. In villages, 'chay-shay' also refers to someone who doesn't stay home to help with farming but wanders to other houses to chat. On Burmese Facebook, 'chay-shay' is used to call out 'keyboard fighters' who comment on celebrities' personal lives. The phrase is a direct antonym to the value of 'Ar-Nar-De'. If you are 'chay-shay', you have zero 'Ar-Nar-De'.
Avoid with Elders
Calling an elder 'ခြေရှည်' is very disrespectful. Use 'စွက်ဖက်တယ်' if you must be critical.
The 'Wandering' Sense
If someone is never at home, you can use this too. It's a great way to sound like a native speaker.
