Making new friends in Myanmar

A boarding school or house in Burmese is called ဘော်ဒါဆောင် | bau2-da2 hsoun2 where the first word is the English loaned word "boarder", and ဆောင် | hsoun2 means a hostel, dormitory or a hall. Those in the same boarding house become buddies and they call one another ဘော်ဒါ | bau2-da2. So, the word ဘော်ဒါ | bau2-da2 has evolved to mean buddy even if you don't go to the same boarding school. You will hear this usage by the younger generation of Burmese people in this short clip.

Myanmar's neighboring country Thailand is known as "the land of smiles". Burmese people are not much different when it comes to natural friendliness. Myanmar people are also straight forward and open. Strangers help each others without expecting anything in return. You can address to anyone in the street with the terms such as "young brother", "elder brother", "aunty", "uncle", "big sister", and so on. (Please refer to lesson 4 on how to say "you" in Burmese.)

Making friends in Myanmar

If you are obviously a foreigner from the way you look or dress, people will be curious where you came from. We will start with some likely phrases that they will ask you when you meet new people in Myanmar.

Where are you from?

ဘယ်ကလာလဲ

beare2 ga1 la2 leare3"Where are you from?" (Where + from + come + ?)

ဘာနိုင်ငံသားလဲ

ba2 nine2-ngan2-dtha3 leare3"What nationality are you?" (What + nationality + ?)

ဘယ်နိုင်ငံက လာလဲ

beare2 nine2-ngan2 ga1 la2 leare3"From which nation did you come from?" (Where + nation + from + come + ?)

ဘယ်တိုင်းပြည်က လာလဲ

beare2 tine3-pyi2 ga1 la2 leare3"From which country did you come from?" (Where + country + from + come + ?)

Myanmar Grammar Notes: Burmese question words such as ဘယ် | beare2 and ဘာ | ba2 can be either pronoun or adjective depending on how the sentence is constructed. If the question word makes a clear reference to the noun in the sentence, it is an adjective.

You can use နိုင်ငံ | nine2-ngan2 and တိုင်းပြည် | tine3-pyi2 interchangeably when asking the question: "Where are you from?". When answering that question, the word ပြည် | pyi2, which is the short for တိုင်းပြည် | tine3-pyi2 (country) is added to a few exceptional countries.

xxxx ပြည် | xxxx pyi2 — names of exceptional countries

က | ga1 — from

ပါ | ba2 — polite tone

ဂျပန်ပြည်ကပါ | ja1-pan2 pyi2 ga1 ba2I am from Japan.

တရုတ်ပြည်ကပါ | ta1-yoat pyi2 ga1 ba2I am from China.

ကုလားပြည်ကပါ | ka1-la1 byi2 ga1 ba2I am from India.

မြန်မာပြည်ကပါ | myan2-ma2 pyi2) ga1 ba2I am from Myanmar.

ပြင်သစ်ပြည်ကပါ | pyin2-thit pyi2 ga1 ba2I am from France.

Note: Although the word Ka1-la1-byi2 is commonly used among Burmese to mean India, the more politically-correct term is အိန္ဒိယ | ain2-de1-ya1 without pyi2.

For the rest, just omit Pyi2. For example,

စင်ကာပူ ကပါ | sin2-ga1-pu2 ga1 ba2I am from Singapore.

အမေရီးကား ကပါ | a-may2-yi3-ka3 ga1 ba2I am from the USA.

ကနေဒါ ကပါ | ka1-nay2-da2 ga1 ba2I am from Canada.

ဂျာမနီ ကပါ | ja2-ma1-ni2 ga1 ba2I am from Germany.

For a few countries that Burmese have been in touch with for centuries like China, India, France, and Thailand, there are already Burmese words for those countries.

ယိုးဒယား ကပါ | Yo3-da1-ya3 ga1 ba2I am from Thailand.

Some of the old words from the past generations are no longer in use, including ဘိလပ် | bi1-lut derived from the Hindi word Wilayat for England, ရောမ | Yau3-ma1 for Rome (Italy), and ခေါမ | khau3-ma1 for Greece.

Names of countries in Burmese Script are given in this page.

Take another note that there is no "you" in the above sentences as it is understood that the conversation is about "you" or "he" or "she" right there at that moment. The speaker could be either directly talking to you, or asking that question about you through the translator.

It appears that some Westerners who translate Burmese into English try so hard to include the word "you" in sentences such as ခင်ဗျား | kha1-mya3 (used by male speaker) and ရှင် | shin2 (used by female speaker).

Can you speak xxxx ?

အင်္ဂလိပ် | In3-ga1-late — English

စကား | za1-ga3 — speech; language; word

ပြော | pyau3 — to speak, to tell, to say

တတ် | tut — able to

သလား | dtha1-la3 — ?

အင်္ဂလိပ် စကား ပြောတတ် သလား

In3-ga1-late za1-ga3 pyau3 tut dtha1-la3Can you speak English?

The question သလား | dtha1-la3 is almost the same as လား | la3. The extra | tha1 in Burmese spoken language appears to come from the ending word သည် | dthi2 in the written language, which is the affirmation word. So, dtha1-la3 probably expects the answer "yes" more than la3.

ဗမာစကားပြောတတ်လား

ba1-ma2 za1-ga3 pyau3 tut la3Can you speak Burmese?

နည်းနည်း | neare3 neare3 — a little

ပြော | pyau3 — speak, tell, say

တတ် | tut — able to

တယ် | deare2 — affirmation.

နည်းနည်း ပြောတတ်တယ်

neare3 neare3 pyau3 tut deare2Yes, I can speak a little.

What's your name?

It will come to you as a shock, but your name is also not a central importance in the first meeting (unless you are a foreigner) as people can still address to each other as "brother" and "sister", or simply omit it. In the formal business meetings, it's more likely that the third person will introduce your name and the name of the person that you just met, so you will never have to use the phrase "What's your name?" For the Burmese people, it is more likely that people will get to know each others' names through the acquaintance than directly asking "What's your name?"

Here again, some Western translators of Burmese (Myanmar) Language seem to think this question as an important phrase, complete with the use of the word "you". If you must ask the name of the person you just met, just omit the word "you".

နာမည် ဘယ်လိုခေါ်လဲ

nun2-meare2 beare2-lo2 khau2 leare3What's your name?

There is no "you" in the above sentence. Here's the break-down:

နာမည် | nun2-meare2 — name (noun)

ဘယ်လို | beare2-lo2 — how (adverb)

ခေါ် | khau2 — call (verb)

လဲ | leare3 — ? (particle)

Is it rude to be asking someone's name in the first meeting? No, it's not. You can go ahead and ask if you need it for the next meeting. Since you are a foreigner, you cannot rely on acquaintances, friends and family to know someone new.

Let me give some examples on how Burmese people ask someone's name. I go to a place to pick up a package. I knock on the door, and someone comes out to the door.

I say: "I am here to pick up the package."

And, the person will say something like this:

ဘယ်သူ | beare2-dthu2 — who

လဲ | leare3 — ?

| ma1 — not

သိ | thi1 — know

ဘူး | bu3 — negative ending

ဘယ်သူလဲ မသိဘူး

beare2-dthu2 leare3 ma1-thi1 bu3Don't know who? Who could that be?

Or, like this:

ဘယ်သူပါလဲ

beare2-dthu2 ba2 leare3Your name, please... (who + soften tone + ?)

Another example. If I go to a place or on the phone telling someone I want to speak with so and so. The likely response will be something like this:

ဘယ်သူ | beare2-dthu2 — who

လို့ | lo1 — particle used in making a report that someone has said "such and such".

ပြော | pyau3 — say or tell

| ya1 — can be done; possible; available; to gain something

မလဲ | ma1-leare3 — ?

ဘယ်သူလို့ ပြောရမလဲ

beare2-dthu2 lo1 pyau3 ya1 ma1-leare3

This question is roughly equivalent to "Who should I tell him is here?" (or) "Who should I tell her is on the line?"

``

What race are you?

No, this is not a racist remark. This is a common question that Myanmar people will be interested. You can just answer by the country that you come from. If you would like to further clarify it, you can say things like

ဩစတြေးလျ က ဗမာပါ | au2 sa1-tray3 lya3 ga1 ba1-ma2 ba2I am a Burmese from Australia. (Australia + from + Burmese + soft polite tone)

This is also the question that you can ask to people that you meet in Myanmar. The main ethnical groups in Myanmar are Kachin, Kayin, Chin, Shan, Rakhine, Mon, Kayah, and Bamar (Burmese), not counting minor tribes like Wa, Palaung, Lisu, Salone and so on that add up to more than 100 distinct languages and dialects spoken in this country.

In Myanmar, those with Chinese and Indian racial background are also important groups who play a major role in the economy. They add to the rich flavor of multi-racial culture as well as cuisine in this country.

Myanmar people also tolerate inter-marriages among different racial, ethnical, and religious background. Myanmar has taken Nationwide census သန်းခေါင်စာရင်း | tha1-goun2 sa1-yin3 (meaning "midnight list") from March 30 to April 10 in 2014 with the help of international aids and expertise after it was last taken in 1983. Here are two websites for reference:

What's in a name?

There has been a lot of controversies and debates as to whether to use the word Burma or Myanmar for this country. Burma is the name known by the western world for several decades because that's how the British called this land as they colonized it for more than a hundred years. Some don't accept the change of the name of the country to Myanmar by the previous military government that they despise. Some argue that the name မြန်မာ | Myanmar is more representative and inclusive of the ethnic groups, while Burma represents only the main racial group known as ဗမာ | "Bamar" who speaks Burmese. Does it really matter? A rose by any other name is still a rose.

Where do you live?

You can ask the local people you meet this question:

ဘယ်မှာနေလဲ | beare2 hma2 nay2 leare3Where do you live? (where + at + live + ?)

Where do you stay?

He or she may in turn ask you this:

ဘယ်မှာတည်းလဲ | beare2 hma2 teare3 leare3Where do you stay? (where + at + temporary visit + ?)

The word တည်း | teare3 is used for a place where you temporary stay in your visit.

အမျိုးအိမ်မှာပါ | a-myo3 ain2 hma2 ba2At my relative's house. (relative + house + at + polite tone)

အသိအိမ်မှာပါ | a-thi1 ain2 hma2 ba2At my acquaintance's house. (acquaintance + house + at + polite tone)

သူငယ်ချင်း အိမ်မှာပါ | tha1-ngeare2-jin3 ain2 hma2 ba2At my friend's house. (friend + house + at + polite tone)

သဇင်ဥယျာဉ် ဟိုတယ် မှာပါ | Thazin Garden Hotel hma2 ba2I am staying at Thazin Garden Hotel. (Thazin Garden Hotel + at + polite tone )

Inviting someone for a drink | အဖျော်ယမကာ သောက်ဖို့သွား

It might be a good idea to invite your new Burmese friend something to eat, or go for a drink where you can have a small talk.

တခုခု သွားစားရအောင် | ta1-khu1-khu1 thwa3 sa3 ya1 oun2Let's go eat something. (something + go + eat + can be done + suggestion)

တခုခု သွားသောက်ရအောင် | ta1-khu1-khu1 thwa3 thout ya1 oun2Let's go drink something. (something + go + drink + can be done + suggestion)

ဘယ်ဆိုင်ကောင်းလဲ | beare2 hsine2 koun3 leare3Which shop do you recommend? (which + shop + good + ?)

နီးလား | ni3 la3Is it nearby? (be near [verb] + ?)

ဝေးလား | way3 la3Is it far? (be far [verb] + ?)

Myanmar Grammar Notes: English speakers might expect the word "near" to be an adjective. In the above Myanmar sentence, it is used as a verb. To use this word as an adjective, suffix particle must be used.

နီးသောဆိုင် | ni3 dthau3 hsine2 [literary]

နီးတဲ့ဆိုင် | ni3 deare1 hsine2 [colloquial]

means shop that is near.

နီး | ni3 — be near (verb) +

တဲ့ | deare1 — that which is (particle)

is equivalent to

နီးတဲ့ | ni3 deare1near (adjective)

နီးတဲ့ဆိုင်ရှိလား | ni3 deare1 hsine2 shi1 la3Is there a shop nearby?

If you are already in the restaurant or in an eating place, or can see one nearby, drop thwa3 (to go) from the phrase.

တခုခု စားရအောင် | ta1-khu1-khu1 sa3 ya1 oun2Let's eat something. (something + eat + can be done + suggestion)

တခုခု သောက်ရအောင် | ta1-khu1-khu1 thout ya1 oun2Let's drink something. (something + drink + can be done + suggestion)

ဘာစားမလဲ | ba2 sa3 ma1-leare3What do you want to eat? (what + eat + will + ?)

ဘာသောက်မလဲ | ba2 thout ma1-leare3What do you want to drink? (what + drink + will + ?)

You can say the same thing to more than one person. Just add the plural word ja1

ဘာစားကြမလဲ | ba2 sa3 ja1 ma1-leare3What do you guys want to eat? (what + eat + plural + will + ?)

ဘာသောက်ကြမလဲ | ba2 thout ja1 ma1-leare3What do you guys want to drink? (what + drink + plural + will + ?)

တခုခု စားကြရအောင် | ta1-khu1-khu1 sa3 ja1 ya1 oun2Let's eat something. (something + eat + plural + can be done + suggestion)

တခုခု သောက်ကြရအောင် | ta1-khu1-khu1 thout ja1 ya1 oun2Let's drink something. (something + drink + plural + can be done + suggestion)

ဗိုက်ဆာတယ် | bite hsa2 deare2I am hungry!(stomach + be hungry + affirmative ending)

ထမင်းဆာတယ် | hta1-min3 hsa2 deare2I am hungry! (rice + be hungry + affirmative ending)

ရေငတ်တယ် | yay2 ngut deare2I am thirsty! (water + be thirsty + affirmative ending)

Small friendly talks over the lunch | အာလာပသလ္လာပ

I have already covered how to order food or drink in Lesson 15. As you sit down around the restaurant table waiting for the food to come, you can make small talks with your new Burmese acquaintance. It's a good idea to ask his or her name now if you haven't done so already, because we will include the name in some of the phrases. Although Burmese sentences can be formed without the word "you" or names as mentioned above, including the name of the person in the conversation of personal nature put more warmth to it.

What's your religion?

xxxx ဗုဒ္ဓဘာသာလား | xxxx boat-da1 ba2-dtha2 la3XXXX, are you a Buddhist? (Name + Buddhist + ?)

xxxx ခရစ်ယာန်လား | xxxx kha1-rit-yan2 la3XXXX, are you a Christian? (Name + Christian + ?)

xxxx မွတ်စလင်လား | xxxx mu2-sa1-lin2 la3XXXX, are you a Muslim? (Name + Muslim + ?)

Here, you should address yourself as ကျွန်တော် | kja1-nau2 for "I" if you are a man and ကျွန်မ | kja1-ma1 if you are a lady as discussed in Lesson 4.

If the person is the same religion as you are, you can say,

ကျွန်တော်လည်း ဗုဒ္ဓဘာသာ လေ | kja1-nau2 leare3 boat-da1-ba2-dtha2 lay2I am also a Buddhist! (I[male] + also + Buddhist + exactly!)

Or else, you can say,

ကျွန်မကတော့ ခရစ်ယာန်ပါ | kja1-ma1 ga1-dau1 kha1-rit-yan2 ba2As for me, I am a Christian. (I[female] + "as for xxxx" + Christian + polite ending word)

To that question, I usually answer like this:

ကျွန်တော် | kja1-nau2 — I (male)

ကတော့ | ga1 dau1 — as for

ဘာလဲ | ba2-leare3 — what

မသိ | ma1-thi1 — don't know ( not + to know )

ပါဘူး | ba2 bu3 — negative polite ending

ကျွန်တော် ကတော့ ဘာလဲမသိပါဘူး

kja1-nau2 ga1 dau1 ba2 leare3 ma1-thi1 ba2 bu3

As for me, I don't know what.

That's probably a better response if your religion is different, or if you are a free thinker. However, if you are really religious, and your religion prohibits you to do or eat certain things, it's best to come up with a straight answer.

Are you married?

XXXX အိမ်ထောင်ရှိပြီလား | xxxx ain2-doun2 shi1 byi2 la3XXXX, are you married? (Name + marriage + exist/have/available + already + ?)

If he or she asks you first, you can say,

ရှိတယ် | shi1 deare2Yes. (exist/present/have/available + affirmation)

မရှိသေးဘူး | ma1-shi1 thay3 bu3No, not yet. (negative + exist/present/have/available + not yet + negative ending)

The follow-up phrases could be...

XXXX ကော အိမ်ထောင်ရှိပြီလား

xxxx gau3 ain2-doun2 shi1 byi2 la3

What about you, XXXX ? Are you married?"

(Name + also + marriage + exist/have/available + already + ?)

ဪ ကောင်းတယ် | au2.. koun3 deare2Oh, good! (Oh, good + affirmation)

ကလေး | kha1-lay3 — baby, child

ဘယ်နှစ်ယောက် | beare2 hna1-yout — how many (how many + measure word for people)

ရှိ | shi1 — exist/have/available

ပြီလဲ | byi2 leare3 — has reach what level, number, or state?

ကလေး ဘယ်နှစ်ယောက် ရှိပြီလဲ

kha1-lay3 beare2 hna1-yout shi1 byi2 leare3

How many children do you have?

ကလေးတွေ | kha1-lay3 dway2 — children; kids

ကြီး | kji3 — big; grown up

ပြီလား | byi2 la3 — has reached certain condition or state or not?

ကလေးတွေ ကြီးပြီလား

kha1-lay3 dway2 kji3 byi2 la3

Have the kids grown up already?

Review the word "byi2-la3"

The question word ပြီလား | byi2 la3 has been explained in lesson2.

ရှင်းပြပြီးပြီ ဟုတ်လား

shin3-pya1 pyi3 byi2 hote la3

- Explained already? Is that right? ( to explain + to finish + "done" + yes + ?)

ဟုတ်တယ် | hote deare2 - Yes ( yes + affirmation )

ရှင်းပြပြီးပြီ | shin3-pya1 pyi3 byi2 - explained it already! ( to explain + to finish + ending word to indicate "done" )

ဟုတ်တယ် ရှင်းပြပြီးပြီ

hote deare2, shin3-pya1 pyi3 byi2

Yes, I have explained it already.

We will continue our small talks when we visit a Burmese family. As for now

ကျွန်တော့် | kja1-nau1 — me; my (male)

ကို | go2 — to

ခွင့်ပြု | khwin1-pyu1 — be excused

ပါဦး | ba2 ome3 — polite suggestion

ကျွန်တော့်ကို ခွင့်ပြုပါဦး

kja1-nau1 go2 khwin1-pyu1 ba2 ome3

If you'd excuse me, please...
