This
jai phrase expresses the feeling
parents often have about their children
who are in an orbit around lives. You
hold your baby in your arms and you know
this feeling of the baby being a circle
around your heart. The baby is like a
gold chain that strings together the mother
and father in a strengthened bond of love,
commitment and affection. The feeling
is a special emotion that recognizes the
closeness of hearts in shared lives. It
is a good feeling, a feeling better than
gold.
Protected

There is a sense of being safe and protected.
For instance, a small baby in the mother’s
arms will feel ùn kaay sà
baay jai, literally warm body, comfortable
heart.” The perfect husband will
elicit this expression from his wife.
The phrase is used almost exclusively
within the context of the family. It would
not, for example, be used among friends
or colleagues at the office.
