Signification
Formal wish for someone's success.
Contexte culturel
Blessings are often given by elders to younger people during the 'Gadaw' ceremony. The elder will touch the younger person's head or shoulders and say this phrase. During the matriculation exam (Grade 12), the whole country enters a 'blessing mode.' Radio stations and TV channels broadcast this phrase to encourage students. When receiving a business card or hearing about a new project, saying 'Aung Myin Par Say' is a sign of professional goodwill and helps build 'social capital.' The phrase is a secular version of Buddhist 'Paritta' (protection) chants, where the goal is to remove obstacles and achieve victory over 'Mara' (evil/challenges).
The 'Par' Rule
Always include 'Par' unless you are writing a poem or a movie script for a king. It makes you sound like a polite, educated speaker.
Body Language
When saying this to an elder, a slight bow of the head makes the wish feel more sincere and respectful.
