[iSDa(GO PORTAL)]

[iSDa(GO PORTAL)]

Hi, everyone...its nice you guys are really trying your best 

Make sure you remember the basics na ja...

(1) DI-CHAN or CHAN  are used by female to refer to herself while PHOM for male

(2) End your sentence or phrase with KAH (female) and KRAB (male)


Feel free to ask questions! Pasaa Thai ngay maak kah    (Thai language is so easy) 

(i picked this up from somewhere. )

Using khrap or Ka is important and always impressive, when:

• Saying Thank you
• Making a request for something
• Asking a question
• Asking an opinion, comment, or compliment
• Apologizing for some mistakes
• Answering a question from someone


Na (Please)  -  end particle

You may hear sentences ending with “na” (please).  Na is a filler to soften statements, add importance and to call attention to an idea. “It makes some sentences sound better”

Ex.  Arai na.  (what please?)

k.helenavil khrap;loo chak k.felix mai khrap? hehehe

[:::OrnjirA:::]

kamusta kabayan    back to basics

colloquial thai expressions (i picked these up from somewhere)

go ahead and do it
tam bpai leei

see you later
laeo jee gan

this area has a lot of delicious food
taew nan mii kawng a-raui a-raui

so what!/ tell me more
laeo ngai

i'm starving to death
hiu ja dtaai yuu laeo


i am a newbie in pasaa thai. so the above may have incorrect information.

good luck.

some of the words spelled in English are quite tricky, they're not exactly pronounced as spelled

from above examples:
laeo jee gan - see you later
laeo - is pronounced more like laew on a level tone
jee - is more like cheer (r being silent) or chia

a-raui - is unmistakably aroi

laeo ngai - so what? / and then?
laeo - laew

tam bpai leei - go ahead and do it
leei - this is gotta be the trickiest word, there's simply no equivalent spelling in english for this 555


chung mun ter!  (so be it!)


prongni cheer kan ikrang na - see you again tomorrow

[:::OrnjirA:::]

kon pak rang (central and BKK peeps) would greet Sawasdee krap!

kon pak isan (northeastern, not all, in Muk at least) would greet  Sabaidee! or Sawasdee djao!

kon pak nuea (northern) would greet Sawasdee djao! - i find this so charming of all, biased hehe


...

[helenavil]

This is true...be careful when reading the english spellings of thai articulation. it can be very tricky and confusing. so the best way is to 'listen' how the locals say it then write it in your own words/spelling.  for example :

prongni cheer kan ikrang na - see you again tomorrow...i can spell this as: PRUNGNII CHUER GAN IKRANG

Make sure you consult your Thai friends and learn from their articulation..otherwise, catch me in the dance floor..if you can! 

[helenavil]

Kenyo, Here is my translation:

For men to be polite, we have to end a statement with the CUP. It's like PO in the Filipino language.
BASIC: Phom=I for men
          Chun/Dee Chun= I for women
          Coon= You

salamat po sir BOL-ANON !

ano po yung nasa pinakababa? 

[TARSIER]

no problem kenyo but please do not say Sir bol-anon. You can call me BOL-ANON without the sir. Only my students in the Philippines call me sir. You weren't my student, right? Nice meeting you here kenyo and I hope to see you in one of the meet-ups here in SIAM someday. We have lots of IT people here sa SP. Mga millionaire iyan sila. hindi ba woz?

para hindi ma off topic, I should say: "Kho thawt cup...."

[TARSIER]

Nice one! talok mak mak 

Looking forward to the next meet up and will be there to help you with your Thais...that is if you ever catch me sitting...coz most of the time I will be on the dance floor!!

Hi keyser soze !...(whats with the name?)

If you wanted to polish your Thai language with the help of Miss Helenavil, dapat marunong kayong sumayaw. LOL  Paenglish2x (hirap ) pa ako nung una sa kanya, fluent/magaling pala magtagalog. Galing naman ng training ng parents mo para makapag Tagalog/Thai/English ka fluently.

ngayon ko lang nabasa ito and I just want to comment... TOTOO napakagaling ni Helenavil! tagalog, thai, english... huh! I had a chance to chat with this awesome woman at isa lang ang hindi ko natananmong sa kanya. "MARUNONG RIN KAYA SIYA NG BISAYA?" joke lang po...

Baka po matuloy kami sa BKK ng kabarkada this April, di pa po ako sure kung anong date. Hahanapin ko na lang po kung saan gathering nyo pag natuloy po kami. salamat po!
