1) What does 'Looohk manoot' mean? I know 'Looohk' translates to 'world'. What about 'manoot'? I think this has a more figurative than literal.

2) What about 'gum-wehn'?

Above are the questions that I felt you deliberately 'missed'. You can answer now.

1) What does no1 mean?

2) I think I know what no2 means: 'karma', right?
I asked around. Is that right or what? Smiley

1. "Manoot" basically means "people" or "human".
"Loohk manoot" basically means "people of the world" or "human planet".

2. "Gum vehn" basically means "sin".

1) 'Human planet' doesn't sound right! Grin
This is ALWAYS uttered when something DEVIOUS happens. If that helps.

2) Are you sure? I asked one of the older generation. One who actually grew up in Laos. So who's right: him or you? I don't mean to put you on the spot like this but I just want to be sure.

You might be right actually. Doesn't 'bahp' translate to 'karma'?
Maybe 'bahp' and 'gum vehn' are synonyms and are interchangable. Who knows? I certainly don't. YOU tell me. Smiley

3) I noticed you corrected 'wehn' to 'vehn'. Is the 'w' sound ALWAYS replaced with a 'V' just like the 'R' sound is pronounced as a 'L'? I doubt it because I never hear someone say 'vaow'. 'Waow' is always what I hear when someone says 'talk' in Lao. Isn't the 'v' sound a recent addition brought by the French? You can play teacher and educate me here. Smiley

"Sin" and "karma" probably means the same thing.

Please ask Lao elders, they know more than me. I'm still young and they always keep reminding me that "I was born yesterday" or "Jaow gert meu varn nee" and I don't know anything.

When I pronounce words, I generally use "V" such as "Vat" and not "Wat" for temples. "W" at the beginning of words probably leans more towards a Thai form of communication because Thai people never say the "V" sound.

Do you say 'waow' or 'vaow'. Please don't lie.
All the O.G's down here utter the former. Obviously since the younger generation are estranged from our motherland, we are influenced by our elders.

YES, WE ALL SAY: 'WAOW', AND NOT 'VAOW'.

I always say "vaow" when I speak naturally.

Look, at the end of  the day, everybody will understand if you say "waow" or "vaow".

No they're NOT synonymous! 'Sin' means to transgress on a divine law. 'Karma' is more like 'what goes around comes around'. You, of all people, should know!

What are you hinting at now? Are you not qualified for the job?
