Significado
Describing hot, sunny weather.
Contexto cultural
The use of 'Thanaka' is the most visible cultural response to 'Nay pu tal'. It's a natural coolant and sunblock. Tea shops are designed with high ceilings or open fronts to deal with 'Nay pu tal'. People gather there to escape the direct sun. In pagodas, the marble floors can get very hot (နေပူတယ်). Pilgrims often visit early in the morning or late at night to avoid burning their feet. Offering a 'Htee' (umbrella) to someone when 'Nay pu tal' is a common act of kindness (Dana).
The 'Naw' factor
Add 'နော်' (naw) to the end to make it a friendly observation: 'နေပူတယ်နော်' (Sunny, isn't it?).
Don't say 'I am sunny'
Remember, Burmese doesn't use 'to be' adjectives for people the same way English does. 'Kyun taw nay pu tal' is wrong.
