معنی
Stating lack of financial resources.
زمینه فرهنگی
Talking about money is less taboo than in the West. It's common for people to ask how much you earn or how much your rent is. Saying 'Pikesan ma shi bu' is a standard, non-shameful response. In tea shops, the person who invites usually pays. If you say 'Pikesan ma shi bu,' your friend will likely say 'Nga tite mal' (I'll treat you). During festivals like Thingyan, people donate a lot. If someone asks for a donation and you truly can't give, 'Pikesan ma shi bu' is accepted without judgment. In business, instead of saying 'no money,' people use 'Budget ma shi bu' (borrowing the English word) to sound more professional.
Politeness Matters
Always add 'par' (ပါ) to make it 'Pikesan ma shi par bu' when talking to strangers or elders.
Don't Overuse
If you say this too often to friends, they might think you are being 'stingy' (kat-say-nany).

The 'Taw' Addition
Adding 'taw' (တော့) makes you sound much more like a native speaker when you've just spent your last kyat.
Street Vendors
A firm 'Pikesan ma shi bu' followed by a smile is the best way to walk away from a persistent seller.
