"Under the saya" -> nghĩa là người đàn ông sống phụ thuộc vào vợ, dưới quyền vợ; núp dưới váy.

Ví dụ
Some might be quick to assume that the actor has gone "under the saya," or worse, did something questionable, but Juancho actually has a really sweet (and smart) reason why he wants to let Joyce know about his trips.

The men are referred to as “under the saya (skirt),” “takusa” – short for “takot sa asawa” (afraid of wife), or suffering from “asthma” because they have to ask permission (xin phép) from their wife (“asma” or ask my wife) for everything they want to do, or every time they want to go out with the boys.

Any woman in a position of authority has definitely been accused of “trying to be a man,” even to her face. If she’s married, her husband will have been called “under the saya (whipped).” Someone would have said, “Kawawanamanang mister n’yan (Poor husband of hers),” as if being a leader automatically makes one a bad wife.
