So, ແຊ່ /saae/ is more of a food preparation term, but I added it in to contrast⠀
with the word for ຈຸ່ມ /juum/ which means “rinse” in a similar fashion (short time).⠀
⠀
Another word that I hear often when eating fish is ໄຈ້/ໄຈ້ອອກ /jai aawk/ which⠀
means to “isolate” or in the case of eating fish — to “debone” it. ⠀
Note: sometimes the word ເອົາ /ow/ “to take” is added after the verb to indicate the action.⠀
