뜻
Describing something with a low price.
문화적 배경
In Myanmar, prices are rarely fixed except in high-end malls. 'Zay paw de' is a common observation after a successful haggle. Burmese Facebook users use 'ဈေးပေါလိုက်တာ' constantly in 'Buy and Sell' groups to tag friends in good deals. Never use 'zay paw' to describe a gift you are giving or receiving. It implies the gift is of low value or you didn't put effort into it. The word 'paw' is used for seasonal crops. When it's 'Thayet thee paw de' (Mangoes are in season/abundant), they are naturally 'zay paw de'.
The 'Laik-Tar' Trick
Add 'laik-tar' to the end (ဈေးပေါလိုက်တာ!) to sound like a local who just found an amazing bargain.
Avoid for People
Never call a person 'zay paw de'. It's a serious insult to their character.

Haggling Strategy
If you think the price is 'zay paw', keep it to yourself until after you've paid, or the seller might raise the price!
