意思
Having a broken heart.
文化背景
The liver (အသည်း) is considered the seat of all deep emotions. Phrases like 'အသည်းကျော်' (dear/beloved - literally 'beyond the liver') show how central this organ is to affection. A huge percentage of Burmese pop songs are 'heartbreak' songs. There is even a sub-genre called 'A-lwan-thee-chin' (longing songs) that heavily features this idiom. In traditional Burmese medicine, emotional distress is often thought to physically affect the liver, which might be why the idiom exists. It is very common for Burmese youth to post 'heartbroken' status updates to seek sympathy or 'comfort' (comfort pay tal) from their social circle.
The 'K' vs 'Kh' Rule
