| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Jay: Let’s imagine your colleague has invited you to watch a movie with him or her. If you want to answer in the negative but without being too direct, you can use “Sorry, I can’t go” which is khǎaw-thôot khà, dì-chǎn bpai mâi dâai khà instead of mâi bpai khà meaning “I won’t go.” |
