I've tried to make a list of Lao words that I came across which I thought were interesting because of their literal meanings. Some are just so logical which made it easy to learn the language.
Literal meaning translated to English- what the word means
Vicks tree- Gum tree
Clean plastic bag- condom
Chewing gum- foreigner's fruit
Understand- touch heart
Sour water- vinegar
Sour milk- yogurt
Flying boat- plane
Mother of water- river
