ຂຄານ

Lazy

意思

Lacking motivation to work.

🌍

文化背景

The 'Bo Pen Yang' attitude is sometimes mistaken for 'khí-khán' by outsiders, but for locals, it's about maintaining peace and avoiding stress. In rice farming communities, being called 'khí-khán' is a serious blow to one's reputation as a marriage partner. Modern Lao teens use 'khán' as a badge of honor or a relatable 'mood' on TikTok and Facebook. In the US or France, Lao parents often use 'khí-khán' to encourage their children to study harder and maintain the 'immigrant work ethic'.

🎯

The 'De' factor

Add 'de' at the end (Khí-khán de!) to sound more like a native speaker complaining.

⚠️

Workplace etiquette

Never tell your boss 'khoy khí-khán' unless you want to be fired. Use 'khoy mueay' instead.

No, but it's informal. It literally starts with the word for 'poop', but it's used by everyone from kids to grandmas.

No, it's only for living beings (people and animals). For a slow computer, use 'ຊ້າ' (sa - slow).

The opposite is 'ຂະຫຍັນ' (khanyat), which means diligent or hardworking.

You can say 'ຮູ້ສຶກຂີ້ຄ້ານໜ້ອຍໜຶ່ງ' (hu-seuk khí-khán noy neung).
