意味
Stating that one is sick.
文化的背景
Health is often tied to the 'four elements' (earth, water, fire, air). Being 'Nay ma kaung' is seen as an imbalance. The concept of 'Arr-nar-de' means people might downplay their illness so as not to worry you. It is common to use traditional herbal 'say-ga-lone' (pills) when one is 'Nay ma kaung'. Taking leave for being 'Nay ma kaung' is generally respected, but a phone call is preferred over a text for older bosses.
The 'Lo' Link
Always pair 'Nay ma kaung' with 'lo' (လို့) when giving an excuse. It sounds much more natural.
Avoid 'I am sick'
Don't try to translate 'I am sick' literally using the verb 'to be'. Stick to the 'Nay ma kaung' pattern.

The 'Get Well' Response
If someone says this to you, always reply with 'Gaw-yit-sait-par' (Take care) or 'Myan-myan thet-thar-par-say' (Get well soon).
