เธ‚เธงเธฒ (khwฤƒa) Right.
We have left, so we have right. My right hand เธกเธทเธญเธ‚เธงเธฒเธ‚เธญเธ‡เธ‰เธฑเธ™ (muue khwฤƒa khaฬŒawng chฤƒn). So if you want to turn right, you say เธ‰เธฑเธ™เธญเธขเธฒเธเน€เธฅเธตเน‰เธขเธงเธ‚เธงเธฒ (chฤƒn yร ak lรญiao khwฤƒa).

เน€เธขเน‡เธ™ (yen) Cold.
เน€เธขเน‡เธ™(yen) means cold, like when you are touching something and itโ€™s cold, you say เน€เธขเน‡เธ™(yen) but when you feel cold like oh my gosh, like itโ€™s snowing and I feel cold, you donโ€™t say like เธ‰เธฑเธ™เธฃเธนเน‰เธชเธถเธเน€เธขเน‡เธ™ (chฤƒn ruฬu-suฬ€ek yen), youโ€™ll say เธ‰เธฑเธ™เธฃเธนเน‰เธชเธถเธเธซเธ™เธฒเธง (chฤƒn ruฬu-suฬ€ek nฤƒao). Like, you know, too cold, you say เธซเธ™เธฒเธง (nฤƒao).
