文化背景
The gesture of shaking the hand downward is a non-verbal sign of 'I give up, you are too good.' It is a sign of ultimate respect. In the city of artisans, this phrase is used to distinguish 'standard' work from 'masterpiece' work. On Facebook, 'လက်ဖျားခါ' is often used in clickbait headlines to describe amazing talents or shocking (but positive) news. During traditional orchestra performances, the audience often uses this phrase to describe the speed of the drum circle player.
Add 'Ya-tal'
Always add 'ya-tal' (have to) at the end to sound more natural: 'Let-pyar-khar-ya-tal'.
Avoid Sarcasm
Be careful using this for simple things; it can sound like you are making fun of someone's lack of skill.
