뜻
Having a conversation via telephone.
문화적 배경
Lao people often use 'Lom' to mean 'flirting'. If you say you are 'Lom' with someone, people might wink and ask if they are your new boyfriend/girlfriend. It is considered polite to use the word 'Doi' (Yes/Polite particle) frequently while on the phone to show you are listening. In Lao business, a phone call is often preferred over an email for urgent matters, as it builds a personal connection ('Lom' implies relationship building). In villages, one person might have the only strong signal, and you might see them 'Lom Tholasap' while standing on a hill or a specific high point.
Use 'Kup'
Always remember to use 'Kup' (with) when mentioning the person you are talking to.
Don't say 'On'
Lao doesn't use the word 'on' (theu) for phone calls. It's just 'chat phone'.
