Kwan - a Tagalog filler word used to replace objects when you've momentarily forgotten the word you were
originally going to use or you don't have the most apt term to describe what you want to express, with the connotation that you will remember it later on. Edited by Duke100782 on 09 September 2012 at 7:21am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

ขวัญ khwan (rising tone) – an interesting Thai concept. Here’s how the dictionary website thai2english.com describes it:
In traditional Thai beliefs, "khwan" is an invisible spirit that lives within each person and which is responsible for psychological and spiritual well-being. Losing your "khwan" (ขวัญหาย) is thought to cause health or mental problems. Unfortunately, "khwan" is easily frightened and any scary or unnerving experience can easily cause it to flee the body to safety. To keep "khwan" inside of you, or to coax it back once it's fled, it's necessary to feel safe, peaceful and at ease. Babies and young children are the most at risk and are particularly prone to losing their "khwan". If so, it falls to their parents (usually the mother) to bring it back by protectively holding their child and saying ขวัญเอ้ยขวัญมา ("Oh Khwan, come back!") until the child feels at ease again. The belief that "khwan" lies in the head is in part responsible for the Thai taboo of touching people on the head, as doing so could easily upset and scare their "khwan" away. Perhaps the most common term learners come across relating to "khwan" is ของขวัญ "present, gift" which literally means "something for your khwan". This is a useful site - it also includes a long, long list of vocab items with “khwan”: Thai2english: khwan Edited by viedums on 09 September 2012 at 12:35pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||
