how to translate this? ဝမ်း နည်း ပက်လက် ပြော တယ်။
is it to feel very sad? sorry for yourself? sad for someone else? i understand the composite bits i think (stomach-little- recline - talk), but I can't work out when you would use this...

Question

Answer

Hello. Hopefully a native speaker will get to your question. Until then, this may help: ပက်လက် can mean 'helplessly'. ဝမ်းနည်းပက်လက် can mean 'in great sorrow; in utter desolation'. So, the full sentence translated can mean someone "speaks in great sorrow", etc
I took these definitions from the following (very useful) resource:

We use those words when we felt grief / grieve for someone or about something and talking with this sorrow. The situation is hopeless and helpless for ourselves or someone.
