SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU

SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU:
WAY2GOD

1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to;

Khatvei sang a tamzaw kizom in mikhat tung ah call bawlsin. Na call a pickup lou leh bawl poimaw tah nei ahikha thei hi. 

2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person you borrowed from reminds you or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes.

Na sum batlaah ang ki phuul masangin piahsom in. Na chitahna min mu in ang gingta ding uhi. 

3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner.

Mi'n hotel ah lunch/dinner free a ang treat (khilai) leh aman tamtam na order sangin aman tomtom order zaw in. 

4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;

Mikhat tawh kimutuah kihoukhaah chiah doh lou dia hoite: zi/pasal na neitai? Ta (child) na nei tai? Car na leitai? Inn na bawl tai? Aziahpen Pasian zaal in tamte na buaina ahi kha samsih hi. 

5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public;

Mi koizong na panpina ngai a hing zuan pouma numei-pasal, ate-akhang, azong-ahau chi um seselou in mizousia akibang in leh ahoi theipen in ngaisahin. Panpi ngaite na hoibawl ziahin na neutuam sih a na lian zaw hi. 

6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;

Midang toh texi/auto na toukhawm ua, na lawmte'n bahara apiah uleh akiah chiah piah sawm teitei in. 

7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you. Besides, second opinion is good for an alternative;

Ngaidan tuamtuam apian chiangin koikoi ngaidan chi um seselou in midang ngaidan khu jatatsah in. Ngaidan leh idea tuamtuam neikhu vaal lou hi. 

8. Never interrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all;

Midang a thugente uh dih in dihsih taleh ngaikhiatsah in len adih leh adihlou khendan siam mai in. 

9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and it shows how appreciative you're;

Chiamnui na bawl a nuamsalou a um leh khawlsan hiau in, bolnon sin. Midangte hasot zaw in. Tuachi'n mite deisahna na nga zaw ding hi. 

10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.

Midang apat panpina na muleh KIPAH ING na chi ding manghil vawt sin. 

11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately;

Dih leh hoi nasatte mite mu in paahtawina piahin len, dihlou leh hoilou nasatte koima theilou in theisiamsah sawm zaw in. 

12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will;

Mi athau (fat) deu na mu chiangin comment va piah sese poimawlou hi, comment piah teitei na ut sam leh HOITA CIAH / DAMTHEI MELTA CIAH  chimai in. Figure toh kisai gen di anei leh ang kupna ding hi. Ang kup ngaahlel in. 

13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;

Mi'n a phone apat limlaah or sil khat poupou ang etsah leh ziat leh vei, sil dangdang va et sawm sin. Sildang kilawmlou/midang theidia aphallou sil zong umthei ahi. 

14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctors' appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say "I hope you’re okay". Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they'll do so without your inquisitiveness;

Mi doctor toh kimu ding chi na thei leh bangjiah e chi va fot sese poinawlou hi. Apoimaw leh nang kan seselou in ang kupna ding hi aziahpen gen dia kilawmlou natna leh nuaina nei zong ahikha maithei hi. 

15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed at how rude you can treat someone below you but people will notice if you treat them with respect;

Mizousia aki bang in bawl in, bawlhoi tuam, bawlhoilou tuam nei sin, na mi bawlhoina khu na mailam zanna ahiza ding hi. 

16. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone and having conversation is rude;

Iki houpipa rnlou a phone et pum a mitoh kihou sil deihuailou mama ahi. (Silpoimaw eg lampai, mitoh kihou, bawlkhat nei pum in phone enden or buaipi den sin). 

17. Never give advice until you’re asked;

Mi thuhil leh kawhmu ding a chial na hi masangdia koima hilsin/kawmusin.

18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age and salary;

Hun sotpi zou a mitoh na kumutuah chiang in akumzat, a sumlawzat, chite apoimawlou leh mawh doh sin ang gen di nuamsalou zong ahiyhei hi. 

19. Mind your business unless anything involves you directly - just stay out of it;

Bangteng na tuah zongin nang buaina ding ahilou leh kiduh buai se da in len ki hepkhiat san in. 

20. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. Moreso, eye contact is as important as your speech;

Sunglass na bulaitah a mitoh na ki houkha leh na sunglass lakhia in tuapen zatatna etsahna ahi. Ki-ettuah pum a ki hou khu silpoimaw mama khat ahi. 

21. Never talk about your riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don't talk about your children in the midst of the barren.

Mi aneizoulou umna ah na neizaw dan leh sum a na buailou dan hagen sin, tuamabangin taneilou te mai ah nata te thu hagen da in, min nuamsalou mama thei ahi. 

22.After reading a good message try to say "Thanks for the message".

Message (thu-le-la) hoitah na simzou chiangin kipaahthu gen manghil sin. 

Hope it is helpful!
