معنی
Cutting one's hair.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Head' is considered the highest and most sacred part of the body. You should never touch a barber's head or anyone else's head while discussing haircuts. Many Burmese people avoid cutting their hair on their birthday (e.g., a Monday-born avoiding haircuts on Mondays) to prevent bad luck. The 'Shinbyu' ceremony involves shaving the head completely. This is a different verb ('yeit' or 'tone') but is the most significant 'hair event' in a male's life. Barbershops are traditional male social spaces. It is common to see men sitting and chatting for hours, even after their haircut is finished.
Add 'Thwar'
Add 'thwar' (go) to say 'going to get a haircut' - ဆံပင်သွားညှပ်မယ်။
Avoid Birthdays
Check if it's your birth-day of the week before going to a traditional shop!
