معنی
A container for carrying money.
زمینه فرهنگی
It is common to see people keeping small religious amulets or photos of parents/teachers in their wallets for protection and blessings. When paying, it is polite to take the money out of the wallet and hand it over with both hands, or with the right hand while the left hand touches the right elbow. A 'full' wallet is a sign of good 'Kan' (karma). People often avoid spending the very last note in their wallet to ensure money keeps 'flowing in'. During Thingyan (New Year), people often put their wallets in waterproof plastic bags to protect them from water throwing.
The 'Lone' Rule
Always use 'Lone' for wallets. It makes you sound much more like a native speaker than using 'Khu'.
Floor Taboo
Seriously, don't put it on the floor. People might actually pick it up for you and look worried!
