Significado
The state of feeling romantic love.
Contexto cultural
Love is often expressed through 'Kreng Jai' (consideration). If you have love for someone, you will be very careful not to upset them or their family. In Western countries, Lao youth might use 'mee khwam hak' more openly than in Vientiane, reflecting a mix of Western directness and Lao vocabulary. In 'Sinxay' or other Lao epics, 'khwam hak' is often described as a force of nature, like a flood or a fire. Lao music videos often depict 'mee khwam hak' through scenes of sharing food or riding a motorbike together through rice fields.
The 'Kap' Rule
Always remember to use 'ກັບ' (kap) if you want to say who you are in love with. It's the bridge between you and your partner.
Too Strong?
Be careful using this with someone you just met. It's very serious! Use 'mak' (like) for the first few dates.
