Love that you built this list with “meraki”. Most people would’ve stopped at 5 or 10 items; but you’ve gone the whole hog.
Two other terms to consider:
1) “Lah” used across Malaysia and Singapore. It is often used and the end of a sentence to convey it’s mood/sentiment. Hard to pin down a specific meaning for it on its own.
2) “Paavam” in Tamil references an innocent and unfortunately soul that you should take some pity on.
For example – “that dog is paavam; why don’t you give him some chocolate”.
