뜻
Waking from sleep.
문화적 배경
Waking up early (tuean deuk) is essential for 'Tak Bat' (alms giving). If you wake up late, you miss the opportunity to make merit for the day. In villages, the rooster (ໄກ່ຜູ້ - kai phu) is the natural alarm clock. The phrase 'tuean phom kai' (waking with the chickens) is a common idiom. In Vientiane, 'tuean sai' (waking late) is common on weekends, and people often go for 'Khao Piak' (noodle soup) as a late breakfast. It is considered slightly impolite to visit someone's house too early before they have had time to 'tuean non' and wash their face.
The 'Already' Rule
Always add 'laew' (already) if you are telling someone you are currently awake. 'Khoy tuean laew'.
Tone Matters
If you say 'tuean' with a high tone, it might sound like 'to warn'. Keep it low and falling.
