“I wasn’t trying to hurt him! He has ຕາຂປີ!” I protested as my teacher led me to the corner. The phrase appears as confusing written as it does spoken‚ and my teacher could not comprehend. Apparently neither did my classmate‚ who yelped when I pointed my finger at his eye. It would take three years before I learned the English equivalent of this word.
