no gift for those who know the word already :-p
for those who do not know yet, the gift is the “license to use the word legally” :-p

“Para” is pali word and we usually hear this word during pjum ben, this word mean “Disaster”!

oh yeah! my (province) district nearest thai border also using that word too. why didn’t ask me!! haha… that mean “dirty”. but this time it’s too long sound of consonant. people in my homeland call “broa” as short!
eg: mo pi na oy kor broa bles(mles)? mean “where’re u come from, look so dirty”.

Reak: that’s possible.
Sovanna: thank Sovanna for this idea, u think it’s good to let someone to know bout this. but maybe i need to request a permission from Vireak to do this sample
NANA: yes you’re rite!!

Sovanana: yeah, it’s great to know what other exotic words people use from other parts as well…
