There are
words we need to borrow from other languages.
From Thai, that word of the day is “greng-jai” (เกรงใจ). “Greng-Jai”
comes from two words: “jai” (ใจ), meaning the
“mind, heart, or spirit”; and “kreng” (เกรง), meaning “fear, awe, or dread”. However, this fear in “kreng” (เกรง) does not have the same flavour as being
afraid of something, as in terrified.
That word is “glua” (กลัว). This is an idiomatic phrase where
you express your reluctance to inconvenience others.
