Bite-Size Burmese: Droplets of Destiny and Romance Written on the Forehead
Manage episode 337799341 series 3319499
Destiny comes in many shapes and forms, but in Burmese, figuratively speaking, it comes as water droplets, or ရေစက်။ People became friends, neighbors, or lovers because they share some droplets of fate (ရေစက်ဆုံလို့၊ ရေစက်ရှိလို့), as a result of some acts of merit they had done in past lives. By the same token, when the supply of fate or merit runs out (ရေစက်ကုန်ပြီ), it's time to part ways, never to meet again.
Your romantic fate, on the other hand, comes as words scribbled on your forehead (နဖူးစာ/ဖူးစာ). Hence, the name ဖူးစာရေးနတ်, or the God who Scribbles on the Forehead. In this episode of Bite-Size Burmese, learn to talk about the droplets of fate that you'd brought with you from the previous life to this, and your spouse-to-be with a mark inscribed on his or her forehead.
Burmese song cited, ရှေးရေစက်, performed by Win Oo and Mar Mar Aye. Intro and end music: "When my ukulele plays" by Soundroll, Upbeat.io.
