I just had write about them. And I came across quite a bit of them, but for the sake of this article, I narrowed it down to 8 words\/phrases. I will probably do another article for some of the other words\/phrases I found, but for now, let&#8217;s get started with these.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Thong<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Thai<\/strong><br \/>\nNow, if you are familiar with the English translation for this word, right away you will assume that I&#8217;m talking about something that I&#8217;m not actually talking about. It&#8217;s not what you think. If you&#8217;re ever in Thailand and someone asks you if you like to wear thong, please know that they&#8217;re not referring to lingerie. Thong in Thai can mean a number of different things depending on how it&#8217;s said, and interestingly, gold is one of the meanings. So yeah\u2026 don&#8217;t get freaked out.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Pinakanakapagpapabagabag-damdamin<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tagalog<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, try to say that a few times without fumbling your words. If you aren&#8217;t aware, this is actually 1 word. Arguably considered the longest word in the Tagalog language, it consists of 32 letters. If you were to translate it into English, it would simply mean, &#8220;the most emotionally disturbing or upsetting thing.&#8221; (Not emphasizing on the &#8220;simply&#8221;, of course).<\/p>\n<h2>3. Bap meogeosseoyo? \u2013 &#8220;How are you?&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Korean<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat&#8217;s fascinating to me the most about this phrase is its literal translation, which is, &#8220;Did you eat rice?&#8221; This greeting in Korea is used to show concern for others, which is really cool and shows the beautiful hospitality and care that they show towards another&#8217;s well-being. This isn&#8217;t the only way for someone to ask, &#8220;how are you&#8221;, in Korean, but it is the most interesting way in my opinion.<\/p>\n<h2>4. &#8220;Do Not Disturb, Tiny Grass is Sleeping&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Chinese<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re ever in China and you see a sign on the grass that has this quote on it, \u2026know that they&#8217;re politely just asking you, &#8220;Do not step on the living grass&#8221;. I love how they put it in such a way that upon seeing it, it cautions you to not only avoid stepping on the grass, but after seeing the &#8220;\u2026tiny grass is sleeping&#8221; part, it sort of urges you to want to walk by quietly as well. It&#8217;s like it&#8217;s telling you, &#8220;Shhh\u2026&#8221;. I love that.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Jodoh<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Indonesian<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-7682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stopasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/8-interesting-words-and-phrases-of-asia-300x252.jpg\" alt=\"8 Interesting Words &amp; Phrases of Asia\" width=\"300\" height=\"252\" \/>This word doesn&#8217;t have an English translation for it. It represents &#8220;Something that is just meant to be&#8221;. It can also mean other things such as soulmate or describing when 2 people look good together\u2014they&#8217;re considered Jodoh. Or it could even be used to describe a situation where something worked out for you. Like for example, you go to the gym to sign-up for an upcoming pilates class, but when you get there they tell you that the class is already fully booked. But as you&#8217;re walking away, suddenly someone nearby stops you and says, &#8220;I just got a text message saying that I have to work that day, so I won&#8217;t be able to make it to that class,&#8221; and then they ask you if you&#8217;d like to take their spot. In that situation, you and that pilates class would be Jodoh.<\/p>\n<h2>6. L\u1ec6<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Vietnamese<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is another word with a cool meaning, which is for describing, &#8220;the teardrops with deep sorrow&#8221;. So beautiful. This word alone just makes you want to start writing poetry for someone. Anyone.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Hak Paeng Gan<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Lao (Laotian)<\/strong><br \/>\nThis phrase is also something that can&#8217;t be translated into English. It&#8217;s similar to someone saying, &#8220;I treasure our friendship&#8221; or &#8220;I love you guys&#8221;. Something you might hear a close friend or relative from Laos say to you or someone after spending some time eating and drinking with one another, having an enjoyable time.<\/p>\n<h2>8. &#8220;Brew and drink the dirt from under someone&#8217;s fingernails&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Japanese<\/strong><br \/>\nSo\u2026getting straight to the translation\u2026 If someone tells you that they want to &#8220;Brew the dirt from under your fingernails and drink it like a tea&#8221;, take this as a compliment. Trust me. Let me explain. In the Japanese culture, by someone telling you this, they&#8217;re pretty much saying that you have admirable qualities and that they hope that those qualities will somehow be transferred onto them. This is probably the best idiom I have ever heard in my entire life. It literally destroys every other idiom ever thought of by any other human being. I mean come on, what better way than this to tell someone that they have admirable qualities? You just can&#8217;t beat that. I&#8217;m definitely going to start using it.<\/p>\n<h2>Thanks For Reading<\/h2>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed reading this article about these 8 Interesting words\/phrases of Asia.
