意思
Referring to someone with high moral character.
文化背景
The concept of 'Lu Kaung' is the foundation of 'Mingala' (blessings). Parents often tell their children 'Lu Taw phit pho htet Lu Kaung phit pho a-yay kyi tal' (Being a good person is more important than being a smart person). A 'Lu Kaung' is expected to follow the Five Precepts (not killing, stealing, lying, sexual misconduct, or drinking alcohol). In Myanmar offices, being a 'Lu Kaung' (easy to work with, honest) is often valued as much as technical skills. There is a strong emphasis on 'Lu Kaung' associating with other 'Lu Kaung'. This is seen as a way to maintain one's own character.
The 'Lay' Trick
Add 'Lay' (လူကောင်းလေး) to sound more friendly and warm when talking about friends.
Not for Objects
Never use 'Lu Kaung' for a good movie or good food. Use 'Kaung tal' (It's good) instead.

Use 'Lu Taw Lu Kaung' to give the highest possible compliment to a student or employee.
Sait-htar
When people say someone is a 'Lu Kaung', they are usually talking about their 'Sait-htar' (heart/disposition).
