معنی
Expressing concern.
زمینه فرهنگی
Expressing worry is seen as a sign of 'Zedana' (loving-kindness). It is socially expected to express concern for others' health and safety. Parents often use 'seik pu' as a synonym for 'I love you'. A child returning home late will be met with 'I was so worried' rather than 'I am angry'. The goal of meditation in Myanmar is to achieve 'Seik Aye' (a cool mind). 'Seik Pu' is seen as a state to be observed and eventually calmed. When someone tells you they are worried about you, the polite response is 'စိတ်မပူပါနဲ့' (Don't worry) to show you don't want to be a burden.
Comforting others
Always follow 'စိတ်ပူတယ်' with 'ဂရုစိုက်ပါ' (Take care) to sound more natural and kind.
Negation placement
Remember: စိတ်မပူပါနဲ့ (Seik ma-pu par nae). If you say 'Seik pu ma-par-nae', no one will understand you!
