Significado
The daily routine of cleaning the face.
Contexto cultural
Washing the face is the essential first step before applying Thanaka, the traditional bark paste used for sun protection and beauty. Water used to wash the face of a Buddha statue in the morning is considered sacred and is called 'Myat hna thit taw yay'. In villages, people often wash their face at a communal well or a large ceramic water pot (yay-ohn) placed in front of the house. In cities like Yangon, 'face wash' (မျက်နှာသစ်ဆေး) brands from Korea and Thailand are extremely popular among the youth.
The 'New' Rule
Always associate 'thit' with 'new'. You are making your face new for the day!
Don't 'Say' it!
Avoid saying 'Myat hna say'. It sounds like you are scrubbing your face like a dirty plate.
