Jai in sign language

Hot Heart, Hot Chest
rÓOn jai (v.) ร้อนใจ
rÓOn òk rÓOn jai (v.) ร้อนอกร้อนใจ
à naa thOOn rÓOn jai (v.) อนาทรร้อนใจ

If someone walks around with a set of fundamental worries they can’t shake free from then their emotional state is appropriately described as rÓOn jai or rÓOn òk rÓOn jai. The background emotional condition is associated with profound concern, fear, anxiety or insecurity. Someone is afraid that something will happen outside of their control and that they, or someone they love, may suffer harm as a result. They may fear that they will fail to complete a project assigned by their boss. Other examples include: being afraid that their best friend will not recover from a major operation, or their child will fail in school, or their spouse or lover will abandon them. À naa thOOn rÓOn jai is used in the same context.
