意味
Mother and father together.
文化的背景
Parents are considered 'living Buddhas' in the home. It is common to see children bowing to their parents before a long journey. The 'Singalovada Sutta' outlines the five duties of parents to children and five duties of children to parents. Even in modern cities, it is very common for adult children to live with their 'Mi Ba' until marriage, and often after. Many famous poems and songs focus on 'Mi Ba Myitta' (Parental Love), often comparing it to the height of Mount Meru.
Use for 'Parents'
Always use 'Mi Ba' when you need the collective word for parents in any formal or semi-formal situation.
Not for Calling
Never use 'Mi Ba!' to call your parents. They will find it very strange! Use 'A-may' or 'A-hpay.'

The Plural Marker
Add 'doe' (တို့) to make it 'Mi Ba doe' when talking about your own parents to others; it sounds more natural and humble.
Respect is Key
When talking about someone else's parents, using 'Mi Ba' is always safer and more respectful than using informal terms.
