Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Jai Yen' is a pillar of Thai identity. It is often contrasted with 'Jai Rorn' (hot heart). Being 'Jai Yen' is seen as a sign of high social status and emotional intelligence. In business meetings, if a conflict arises, a senior member might say 'Jai yen yen' to remind everyone to maintain harmony and avoid losing face. Parents often use this phrase with children to teach emotional regulation from a young age, emphasizing that 'hot' emotions are undesirable.
