معنی
Moving through water.
زمینه فرهنگی
Swimming is most popular during the hot season (March-May). During the Thingyan festival, water is everywhere, but people usually prefer 'playing' with water rather than swimming in pools. The Intha people are famous for their leg-rowing, but they are also incredibly strong swimmers. For them, ရေကူး is a part of daily life from childhood. In Southern Myanmar (Myeik Archipelago), the Moken people spend much of their lives on boats. Their 'ရေကူး' ability is legendary, often involving free-diving for pearls and food. In villages, 'ရေကူး' often happens in the local river or irrigation canal. It's a social event for children after school.
The 'Tat' Rule
Always use 'တတ်တယ်' (tat-tal) when talking about the skill of swimming. Just saying 'ရေကူးတယ်' means you are doing it, not necessarily that you know how.
Bathing vs. Swimming
Be careful not to say 'Yay-cho' at the beach unless you are literally soaping up in the ocean!

Thingyan Context
During the water festival, use 'ရေပက်' (yay-pet) for throwing water and 'ရေစို' (yay-so) for getting wet.
