Description:
The term 'tukky' is a direct borrowing of the Pali word 'dukkha', usually translated into English as 'suffering', and used by Common-speaking Buddhists to discuss the Buddhist concept, alongside the native Common translation that has won the most currency, 'sih', or 'dream'. It is also seen with older variant spellings 'dukky' and 'dukka', which are more common in older texts and are losing popularity to the more Commonised 'tukky'.
