[Thai Archive] Learn Thai Language here

[moonsilk]

I thot of starting this thread so that people who dunno Thai Lang can learn thai lang here...Let me start the ball rolling...

How to say:

1) Thank you
2) Good morning
3) I love you

I'll ask a little a day...anyone can help to translate....
:excited: :rolleyes: :D

[jtayk]

1) Thank you
Korb Khun
ขอบคุณ
2) Good morning
Sawaddee Torn Chow
สวัสดีตอนเช้า
3) I love you
Chan Rak Khun
ฉันรักคุณ

But for Sawaddee, It is as common as hi, it can b said anytime a day. Sawaddee ja :wave:

[pukpods]

you can say only "Sa-wad-dee" for all day. It's mean good morning, good afternoon, good evening and can use like "hi" or "hello" but after this word "Sawaddee", you use "ka" if you are female and "krub" if you are male. :wacko:
Ex: puk say "Sa-wad-dee-ka" to jay then jay reply "Sa-wad-dee-krub" to puk :brows:

[pamujung]

:laughing: You did it Gina, I don't know you really have high intention. That's great !!
Hope to see more of people who are interested in our Thai Language.

I just noticed this, the pronounciation in english of "Good morning"
2) Good morning
Sawaddee Torn Chow
สวัสดีตอนเช้า hehe it doesn't pronounce like that in Chinese

[moonsilk]

Sa-wad-dee-ka to everyone!Hahaha...

Yeah...i mus try to learn more thai lang from u guys!
"Korb Khun" for that...dun worry,im goin to write those translation down and pen it in my notebook...gotta be serious about this...hahaha...


To Jay,boonsak ponsana,ronald susilo, jtayk,puk n pam: "Chan Rak Khun"...Wahaha...am i a fast learner?Lol...

[pukpods]

from moonsilk:To Jay,boonsak ponsana,ronald susilo, jtayk,puk n pam: "Chan Rak Khun"
"Chan Rak Khun Mern Gun" It's mean = "I love you, too" :D

[moonsilk]

Hahaha...
Its so interesting... :D
Mus i add a "ka" for every sentence i speak?

Sawaddee-ka
Korb Khun-ka
Chan Rak Khun-ka

How do i say 1-10 in thai lang?
:wink2:

[pukpods]

Yeah! add a "ka" for every sentence you speak is very polite :D
Today lesson..
1 = neng
2 = song
3 = saam
4 = see
5 = ha
6 = hok
7 = jed
8 = pad
9 = kao
10 = sib
Is it difficult? but you're so smart, you can do it. :shifty:

[masterCP]

wow, great idea to start this thread! :excited:

pukpods, nice example you have there for conversation with jay :brows:

ok, now i have question too...

is the "t" in Thai pronounced as "d"...like for Samed/Samet...which is which? :?

[pukpods]

is the "t" in Thai pronounced as "d"...like for Samed/Samet...which is which? It's not accurate in every word :hmm:

You can use "samed" and "samet" , these are same pronounced with same meaning :happy:
But "dee" = good :thumbsup: / "tee" = hit :chair:, these are difference sound and meaning :glug:

[MayJung]

moonsilk I didn't know before that you're so interested in Thailand :D well,it's kinda impressive :happy: nice to know you ka :wave:

masterCP umm..'t' sound pronounces the same as 'd' sound when it functions as final sound..BUT when it functions as intial sound it's different..:wacko:
for example look at pukpods post on previous page..lol

Today's Thai word>> narak = cute,pretty :rolleyes:

[moonsilk]

Hihi MayJung...nv talk to u for quite some time!How are you...glad that u drop by here...haha...
Ya,im very interested in going to Thailand now...
U can also bring me ard Thailand with the others...hahaha...

Hey Puk...ive learnt 1-10 already!Hahaha...
Let me see,what else to ask?

Teach me how to start a simple coversation?
This will be the English version...then u guys can help me with the Thai version...

Sawaddee-ka,Im Georgina...
Im from Singapore...
What's your name?
Nice to meet you...
Do come to Singapore when u r free...

[masterCP]

oh ok, thanks for enlightening me pukpods & mayjung! :wave:

:rolleyes: ok these phrases are for shopping, translate into thai please:
how much is this?
no discount?
what is your last price?

[MayJung]

moonsilk yeah I know I've been missing from cs forum..kinda lost connection with surfers :cry:
Sawaddee-ka,Im Georgina...
Im from Singapore...
What's your name?
Nice to meet you...
Do come to Singapore when u r free...
In Thai version it would be
" Sawaddee-ka, shun sheu Georgina
shun ma jak Singapore
khun sheu a-rai ka?
yin dee tee dai ru juk ka
ta wang ma Singapore si ka" :sweat:

masterCP here's your request
how much is this? = nee (raka) tao rai ka?
no discount? = mai lod noi reu ka?
what is your last price? = raka derm tao rai ka?
hope that would help u when u do shopping in Thaiand :happy:

[pamujung]

hmm.. May did translate well, can I add more for Pronounciation and wording :D
Sawaddee-ka, shun sheu Georgina
the word sheu will be hard to pronounce and you will note sure how to pronounce it correctly, so compare with the PinYin sheu = shi
To separate meaning it means "Name"

what is your last price? = raka derm tao rai ka?
the last price !? this should be the price after discount or the price before discount :? In what May translated means the price before discount.

[pukpods]

Oh! we're already have 2 students, now :excited: We will change you to be thai people :whip:

MayJung, pam, masterCP, I think "what is your last price?" should be "hai dai tao rai ka" in thai :hmm:

[moonsilk]

Thankz to all my teachers!Hahaha...

Whats ur name is - khun sheu a rai ka rite?
The a is pronounced as ah isit?

Things to learn today:

Im 18 years old this year
Im still a student
My hobbies are - singing,dancing n laughing!
Im friendly and i love to make new friends....


Hey people...i gtg le...having a chemistry practical examz in 2 hrs time!Hahaha...
Hope that it will be fine...talk to u guys when i come back!
Take carez...

[pamujung]

MayJung, pam, masterCP, I think "what is your last price?" should be "hai dai tao rai ka" in thai So it should be the price after discount right ? Because I also think that..
Whats ur name is - khun sheu a rai ka rite?
The a is pronounced as ah isit? hmm.. no the short pronounce "a" like in English.

[MayJung]

:whoops: thanks Pam and pukpods for correcting me..
Im 18 years old this year
Im still a student
My hobbies are - singing,dancing n laughing!
Im friendly and i love to make new friends....
In Thai =
pee nee shun a-yu sib paad
shun yung pen nuk rian
ngan a-direk kong shun kheu- rong pleng, ten rum and hua roh
shun pen mit and yak ru juk puen mai mai

Thai ppl,correct me if I'm wrong :worry:
anyone translate 'and' to Thai?? is it 'lae'? :unsure:

[masterCP]

oh ok, thanks for the useful phrases, guys! :wink2:
i do hope i can come back and shop there!
will be back to this thread for my next Thai lesson! :wave:

[moonsilk]

Thankz for that MayJung...hahah...

Can i ask how to pronounce:
Rian
direk=direct?
Kheu
Puen

[angel_numberone]

i found a good website teaching thai alphabets and vowels pronouciation here (http://www.seasite.niu.edu/Thai/)
u can start from clicking on left door and then click alphabet and tones.
i think u should start from right pronouciatiuon of each alphabet and then come and ask us here for frequently used words and sentenses. otherwise u can't get the pronouciation right. thai language doesn't really have english pinyin. that is what we, thais, try to use english to be pinyin. it's not standardized like chinese pinyin. it can make u easily confused. hope it helps ka.

[pamujung]

Can i ask how to pronounce:
Rian
direk=direct?
Kheu
Puen

haha Okay let me try.. compare with pinyin again

rian = lian >> means Study
a-direk (it's one word) = a di lake >> means hobby
; note that di, pronouce as english word digit
kheu = ki >> means is/am/are
; ki pronouce as pinyin of shi, just change sh to k
puen = paen >> means friend
; try saying pa and en quickly :sweat:

[pinkypat_6]

wow...this is a great Idea...I wanna help.... :bounce:
*grabs books puts on glasses like a teacher*
ahem...Understand children?...Anything to ask?

[SyAoRaN_StyLe]

Thankz for that MayJung...hahah...

Can i ask how to pronounce:
Rian
direk=direct?
Kheu
Puen

When you meet Boonsak next time, you say this to him :shifty:
moonsilk : sa-wad-dee-ka. Man [Boonsak's nickname] shun-pen-fan-kong-kun-ka
= Hello! Man. I'm your fan.
Boonsak : Korb-Khun-krub
= thank you with big smile :brows:

[pamujung]

moonsilk : sa-wad-dee-ka. Man [Boonsak's nickname] shun-pen-fan-kong-kun-ka = Hello! Man. I'm your fan. haha beware of using the word fan in Thai, from the sentense provided by Puk above will be misunderstand to this "I'm your girlfriend" :D

[pinkypat_6]

good one pukpod but yea , beware of misunderstanding...
she should say
"Chan cheun-shob khun mak ka"
"I Admire you very much"
Chan: I
Cheun-shob : Admire
Khun: you
Mak: very much, alot
Ka: endings for girl.

[SyAoRaN_StyLe]

Hi SyAoRaN_StyLe, It's great to see you in this thread but i don't see anything from you related to the topic, if you don't mind PM her to talk about Badminton or go to another thread about sport or Badminton :happy:

[SyAoRaN_StyLe]

Hi SyAoRaN_StyLe, It's great to see you in this thread but i don't see anything from you related to the topic, if you don't mind PM her to talk about Badminton or go to another thread about sport or Badminton :happy:


Oops ... Sorry maybe i was .. soo "excited" lool
Once again I'm sorry
let's back to the topic =)

[pukpods]

haha beware of using the word fan in Thai, from the sentense provided by Puk above will be misunderstand to this "I'm your girlfriend"
ha ha..pam and pinkypat_6, it's true that "fan" = girlfriend but I really mean it :bleh: No no just kidding. I think it's short and easy to pronounce for moonsilk. If she talk to Boonsak. He know that she's not thai and he can understand it in right way. I'm sure :brows:

[moonsilk]

Puk: If i said what u taught me will he laugh?Cos im saying im his girlfren rite?Wahaha...how i wish?
I wana be his GF!!!Lol...I wana say Chan Rak Khun Ka to him!

Thankz Pam n pat for helping me...wahaha...ive lots of teachers over here...Korb kun ka!

Syaoran_style: Hihi...btw,where are y from?U have joined RS n BP fan club?Whats ur nick?
Tel me when u set up the fan club ya?Korb khun ka!

[pamujung]

:D Gina, I thought he can speak Chinese as he stayed in China for a time. And he won't laugh at you if you say Puk's sentense. The word "fan" is the same as fan club in Thai too.. there's the way to confused but he will get what you mean.

[moonsilk]

Becos i thot i remembered someone saying that Boon does nt noe how to speak in chinese in the whats spreading out in thailand thread?
Hahaha...

Thankz for explaining...fan seems to have a lot of meanings...hahaha...

[jtayk]

Moonsilk. I know u prepared well for your speech and I do wish u the best of luck on that special day. But what would u do if he thought you can understand Thai and speaks to u in Thai in a long and hard to understand Thai lang ???
lol. Do I freak you out?? Can Boonsak speak English, I wonder?? But I think he must have an interpretor with him.

Prepare gift for him is another good idea and you can write in Thai by asking us to help u, this way, I am sure you can speak your mind to him, and don't forget your friendster thing, too.

[SyAoRaN_StyLe]

LoL boonsak speaks english yes lool he speaks also mandarin he spend 6 years to learn badminton in china.
I thought that hello it's Sa bai di Ka for girl and Sa bai Di khap for men ?? it's not that??

[pamujung]

Becos i thot i remembered someone saying that Boonsak does nt noe how to speak in chinese in the whats spreading out in thailand thread?
Hahaha...
I'm not sure about that what I know is reading from his biograph and it said that he ever stayed at China for many year, how he can't say any chinese or english can live outside country (Thailand) :sweat: right ?!

I thought that hello it's Sa bai di Ka for girl and Sa bai Di khap for men ?? it's not that??
Hello = sa wad dee kab (M) and sa wad dee ka (F)
sa bai di/dee ka/kab = I'm fine

[neena]

[moonsilk]

Wana give me a test?
I want i want...
But mus be very simple!

[jtayk]

Anyone wanna help me think of the test paper??
How about a short conversation? But u have to promise not to look up the last posts.
Test 1 :
Jang: Sawaddee Boonsak.
Boonsak:
Jang:Chan rak khun.
Boonsak:

This is a simple test for u. If you were Boonsak, what would u reply to a fan like this. I am flexible with the test, u can answer any which way u want.

[feixuan]

Jang: Sawaddee Boonsak.
Boonsak: Sawasdee ja (hello)
Jang:Chan rak khun.
Boonsak: hey pai rong ram gan mai? (hey wanna go to the hotel?)

*lol* so i wont pass this test then.... :glug:

[moonsilk]

Jang: Sawaddee Boonsak.
Boonsak: Sawasdee ja (hello)
Jang:Chan rak khun.
Boonsak: hey pai rong ram gan mai? (hey wanna go to the hotel?)

*lol* so i wont pass this test then.... :glug:


Georgina: Sawaddee Boonsak. :excited:
Boonsak: Sawaddee kap
Georgina:Chan rak khun.
Boonsak:Chan rak khun mern gun!!! :huglove:

Did i pass the test with flying colours?Hahaha...
I didnt peep u noe?I practise these lines with my classmates almost everyday...
My whole class noes that i wana say chan rak khun ka to boonsak already!Hahaha...

Hey fei!!
U naughty girl!! :ranting:
I'll pull Boonsak away...wahaha...

P/S: I'll bring him there instead!Wahahaha...cant stop laughing! :brows:

[pinkypat_6]

gina...your a great student...your thai teachers must be proud of you! test one, I confirm, pass!! great job. now write what fei thought down! it'll be useful! :brows:

[jtayk]

Great student Moonsilk or should I called you Gina??
Congratulations you have passed the first test. A for this.
You practise this line with your mates, how cute. Boonsak must be so proud to know that a Spore girl tries to speak Thai to communicate with him.

Now what else do you need to learn? Have you learnt a common How r u?
How r u? = Khun sabai dee mai?
I am fine. = Chan sabai dee.

Do u like Singapore? = Khun Chorb Singapore mai?
I like Singapore = Chan chorb Sinagore/ Prated Thai ( Prated Thai = Thailand ) ( Prated = country )

But if you wanna ask someone about what they like you can use this form of question, and leave Sinapore out and put something else to replace. The same way for the answer.

[moonsilk]

Pat: I think i better forget about what Fei said...hahaha...i dun dare to say that to him!!Hahah...

Jang: Call me Gina or Georgina...haha...When i learn from u guys,i teach my classmates too,so that i can better rem what u guys taught me...
Boonsak will faint*...hahah...

I haven learn that yet!Gonna pen them down rite away!


I told my mum that if Jay wish me gd luck,i'll put up an advertisement on the newspapers,telling the whole world bout it man!Wahaha...

[jtayk]

Gina, you are so lucky!! Nobody I like wish me any luck. : cry :
Who would b on top of your list?? I mean, can u rank them?? Cos for me, Jay is the only one on the top of my list and no one else. eeerm... I like The Corrs, but they are not that important me.

Chan chorb Jay mark tee sud. = I like Jay the best.

The same as the last one I gave u. Leave Jay out and replace with any word to say you like it/ him/ her/ them best.

[moonsilk]

OKok...another new sentence learn!Dun be so sad!Jang,chan rak khun ka! :huglove:
Let me wish u all the best!Haha...

Chan chorb Jay mark tee sud. = I like Jay the best!!

I'll support Jay no matter what...u guys wun noe how much i like Jay unless u start criticising him,there will be smoke coming out from my head and i'll scream at u :profanit: !Hahaha...
My sis liked Zaizai n i like Jay...so we often quarrel over them...
We will compare who is better!Of course i wun let Jay lose!Hahaha...

I didnt talk much about Jay here cos its very weird if i tell u guys how much i love Jay rite?
Cos we all love Jay!
Then there will be disasters whereby ppl compare with each other to see who likes Jay more... :unsure:

I'll miss u guys...i'll come back real soon!Wait for me!

[jtayk]

What a long reply, Gina. Now what else do u need to learn?? Do u think you can survive with the lessons we gave you sofar?

Jay is also my No.1 but so surprise, I can never like anyone else but Jay... He is just too diao for words. Oops... sorry for using somebody's phrase.

Chan puad tar = I have eye ache.
Chan puad tong = I have stomachache.
Chan puad huar = I have headache.
Chan pen baar = I am crazy/nuts.

Chan puad tar mak mak and so lazy to do any work at the mo.

[pukpods]

Chan puad jai = I feel pain in my heart
'cause I really want to see jay's concert in Thailand again :cry:

[feixuan]

ok all lovely teacher! we should put our voice record with vocabulary for gina , she need true real pronounciation i think
anyone wanna start?....well i have no new vocab in mind yet,,,hmmm
hotel...kiss...rape...hug...date....jump on sean..*muahaha*

[jtayk]

I wanna do that, too, fei. But don't know how to. If we were really gonna do it, why don't we start with the easy introduction. Then slowly move on to getting to know more of each other and then move on to hotel bit. Don't jump on to conclusion, fei. We better take things slow and it will be good. " Cha cha dai pra song lem ngam" :wink2:

[Zhangxin]

Pom yark jam kap puak kun duay a dai mai krab!
I want to join with you.Can't you?

Hey Zhangxin :wave: glad to know one more of Thai Jay's fan..
You can join us but just post in the right thread next time.
Sorry if I misinterpret you, but it seems that your post doesn't related to what the title say *coughrandomcough*
Anyway as you are newbie in here, Do read FORUM RULES (http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=152) :D

[feixuan]

ah xin! (can i call u ah xin since ur nick is zhangxin?)
well what do u wanna join?...learning thai language?
if yes, just post anything u wanna learn =]

[Zhangxin]

I am so sorry. I never read these rules before. I don't know because I think there are Thai people in this board so I wrote a sentence in Thai language.
I want to see when you teach foreigners Thai language. :happy:

[jtayk]

Don't worry. Zhangxin. People can make mistake. You are a newbie, it is common to get confused, we still do. Keep posting and join us with activities.

[Zhangxin]

I saw there are many people can write their signature in Chinese and Singaporean board is able to Singlish. So can I write Chinese with its meaning in my signature?

[pamujung]

I think writing Chinese or whatever language in your signature is fine.. and just let you know they don't allow using Singlish in this forum.

:? is this suppose to be where we talk about this thing !?

[moonsilk]

Yeah....im back to one of my fav thread...
Shall continue learning...
Any teachers wana recap with me what ive learnt so far?Hahaha...

Chan rak khun ka --->(will nv forget how to say this..hahahah)

[Marvdogg]

ih hea...

haha i still remember .. u kno i learned those words from my mom..

she would be driving when i was younger and someone would cut her off.. and shed go

ihh hea.. ahh yet mang... ih sait.. and i was like 5? and then i was like wtf? and then when i was like 6 her friends ask me how she drives and id imatate her and make it look like i was driving and point at the wall and go ih hea.. and all the ppl were laughing and my mom was embarassed..

[pamujung]

ermm.. marv keep it polite as possible and remember that there is good s'poean friends around here too, if you gonna say Thai in this thread, I think you should translate it by word. I'm sure that they don't understand what you wrote above, I'm at first too :sweat:

[moonsilk]

Yeah!I really dun understand what u are talking about...hahahaha..
Let me continue asking all my teachers..
How to say:

You are my favourite idol?
I miss you
Take care always
How much is this?Can it be cheaper?

[Marvdogg]

Yeah!I really dun understand what u are talking about...hahahaha..
Let me continue asking all my teachers..
How to say:

You are my favourite idol?
I miss you
Take care always
How much is this?Can it be cheaper?
i c..

ok anyways
Take care always: laxa dtoi thalod
I miss you : chan kit tuang tua
How much is this?Can it be cheaper: Ani toulai kup/ka? Touk gwa dai mai?

You are my favorite idol? im not sure about that one

[moonsilk]

OKie...thankz a lot Marvdogg!Hahahaha...

But how to pronounce laxa and thalod?

[trishee]

huh? im thai and I'm confused.
ok here moonsilk. i'll try my best. Hope it helps. Im adding translation word-by-word just for kicks. It think it works better if you know the meaning word for word.

You are my favourite idol?
Khun kue nuck rong khon prode kong chun rue plao?
-->khun kue (you are), nuck rong means singer <im imagining jay here>, khon (person), prode (favorite), kong chun (my), rue plao (are you)

I miss you
Chun kid theung ter
-->chun (I), kid theung (miss), ter (you)

Take care always
Ruck sa toi na
-->ruck sa (take care), toi (body, health), na (smth ppl say to be cute/nice)

How much is this? Can it be cheaper?
An nee tao rai? Lod ra ka noi dai mai?
-->An nee (this one), tao rai (how much), Lod (lower) ra ka (price) noi (little bit), dai mai (can you)

[moonsilk]

Thankz for replying to my questions trishee!!
Hahahaha...
I will copy them down and practice saying them...

[trishee]

Whoever wants to learn thai...come in here.
Teaching is fun.
Keep them coming. i shall be the guru of the thai language thread...im am so random sometimes.

[moonsilk]

Hahaha...whats guru?
Oh ya i wana ask u guys...
Whenever i step into a shop in thailand,they will say sth such as :"Di-en-na-ka"
Not sure if theres the correct pronounciation...but what does that mean?

[pamujung]

GURU means someone who can answer every questions !

ahh.. Gina it sounds weird, I don't recognize some of the Thai word like that. May be the others can help :sweat:

[moonsilk]

Oh i see...think all of u can be my guru...wahahaha...
It sounded weird?
Im really curious bout that phrase~
But ive no idea whats that...

[trishee]

"Di-en-na-ka"
probably is "Dern-doo-dai-na-ka" which means you can look around
Dont know if its right, but I answered alright. I have the word GURU written all over. hehe

[moonsilk]

Woah...is that the closest phrase you can think of?
If it is...then i think its that ba... :happy:

Khob khun ka... :wink2:

Trishee,mus be a little humble ya?
B4 other thais boxed you... :chair:
LOL...juz kidding...hahaha

[trishee]

yeah i think i should be humble too
*dodges punch from other thai ppl*

or it could be "Ti-en-na-ka"
which means Somewhere else ok?
but i dont think so...

Gina your banner is so cute :D

[moonsilk]

Hahahaha...
You are so funny!!!
But i dun think they will ask me to go somewhere else too~

I love my banner too!
Its made by Pam!!Very cute right?!Hahaha...

[fallenheartz]

Hi everyone! :wave: You have a new student here :D Sa wad dee ka! :bow:

[moonsilk]

Sawadeeka Carolyn!
Yin dee tee dai pop khun(Nice to meet you)
Feel free to ask about any thai translation!
Im sure many people will help you out!

First of all,I think you can start learning numbers and simple phrases!

[fallenheartz]

Hi Gina! Yeah. I only know the numbers 1-10. Most languages I sort of know are just 1-10 knowledge. :oops: *am weird*

[moonsilk]

Sawadee Carolyn!
Its great!
How many languages you know 1-10?
Must teach me ya?Heehehehe...

[fallenheartz]

Sawadeeka Gina!
Erm, let me think, apart from thai 1-10, I know chinese and english :rolleyes:, korean 1-10 and a few phases, very very little japanese, some chinese dialects (hokkien, not very good towchew (sp?), a bit cantonese (sp?) and I forgot what else. :oops:I'm trying to sort of learn a bit of german from my friends but can't seem to grasp it :wacko: Is that a lot or a little? :whistle: And most of them I don't know the spelling, just the pronouncation, so I make a bad teacher. :thumbsdo: :bleh: :shy:

Sawadee krub ! = Hej (in swedish)

Im a new member here from Sweden.

I have been three times in Thailand and i really love your country.
It's so wonderfull green and lush.
And as a chef i also like your food a lot.

I have last visit Koh Samui and surroundings and i ended my vacation 2 ,5 days in Bangkok to visit the Chatuchak and Pratunam market and stroll around a few spots in the big noicy city.

I also manage three websites for fun:

1. www.2thai.tk (It's a guide for traveler's to Thailand + Priceindex - Where to go the cheapest place on earth with an beachguide)

2. www.legusta.tk (My own holiday photos, with local streaming music)

3. www.plumeria.tk (Lilavadee/Lantom, The exotic scent flower, known as the king of tropic flowers worldwide)

I want to learn a few Thaiwords so i can be polite and have fun.

How could these words be translated into Thai ----->

- I want to become your friend.

- Can we exchange email adress ?

Hello i must ask you Pamujung or someone else here for a favour. :helpme:
I like a special rockband "Loso" well known in Thailand, and i can not reach there cd-records here in Europe at all. I have two good cd of them "Best of Loso" and "The red album". I have read somewhere they are planning to give out a new cd with english lyrics.

I would be mercyfull if someone could tell when its released. And i would give you money for sending it to me. If you want some favour i could send you something from sweden if you tell me what sort of things that you would like to have. :whoops:

[pamujung]

note : I try my best to translate it but if there is any incorrect words, other Thai members pls help correct it.

And Legusta, your last question I think you post in the wrong thread. You should post in HERE (http://jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?p=482878) next time because it's not exactly about Thai language.
So PM me the detail, I will find out the release date or I will buy you a CD when I found it.

[pamujung]

music-addict69 >> So are you Thai ? I'm from Thailand :happy: I know what you talk about lol It's not that confused if you know how to speak chinese. It's just a different tone of the same words.
By the way, you should use proper Englishin this forums. Read Forum Rules (http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=152) no.9

koki-maan >> Welcome to the forums :happy: And yes there are many members here love our country. Anyway this is not the introducing thread, please post in the right thread. Go HERE (http://jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13640)

sawadee kha...lol. dis is cool. yeah jays cool. do u speak chinese? i kinda dont... =P.

hm... do i speak chinese... i'd say.. i had 2 years of chinese in high school but that was some 3 years ago... so.. hard to say.. how about.. i kinda understand a little bit of cantonese and mandarin... mandarin purely from listening to chinese music but cantonese mostly from my friends though.

i found out that i learn more chinese in the past year just by solely listening to jay chou and sing along and looking up the translation than those 2 years spending with Mr. Wang in high school... hahah.. surprising... :bleh: just guess that once u are into something, that something comes pretty easily...

[Guan]

hi, how do u say "I will miss you" in thai ?
curious abt it ^^''

[ellen_nver_falz]

Guan: It's "Chan ja kid tern ter".

I hope the English pronounciation is right. I'm not a Thai so I'm not sure how to write the sound into English. :sweat:

[pamujung]

Ellen >> the sentence is right but the pronounciation is not exactly right :happy: It should be

Chan ja kid theung ther
I will miss you

[ellen_nver_falz]

haha, thanks Pam for the correction. :happy: I probably need to learn more Thai myself. :shy: My friends always laugh at me when I mispronounce some words. :oops:

[esther]

sawasdee kha! Its tough! :laughing: especially when the sentences come in.. Think i am not good in this. But Hey! i love bangkok too much.

Ok i learnt the numbers 1-10 already.
But, when a thing is selling at say, 59 baht, its not ha (5) kao (9) right? so how to say the common bigger numbers?

When i ask the seller how much? then they willl say something like yip seet which is 20 or 10? pardon me, i am a thai language nuts. Lol.

Maybe thai teachers can teach this new student how to say bigger number? will come in useful when i go shopping!!!!
39=?
49=?
59=?

or when it doesnt end with nine, etc: 50? 80? Korb Khun. :bow:

[Capri_girlz]

can u teach me thai language???
i love to learn many many language...
in malaysia also have thai drama...now i love to watch "mei ai ser un"
that's was a sad story right...

what the number sound in thai..i don't know (1 untill 10)

[pamujung]

39=? >> 39 = SAM-SIB-GAO
49=? >> 49 = SEE-SIB-GAO
59=? >> 59 = HA-SIB-GAO

or when it doesnt end with nine, etc: 50? 80? >> HA-SIB and PAD-SIB

To count the number 1 -10 is
1 - NEUNG
2 - SONG
3- SAM
4 - SEE
5 - HA
6 - HOK
7 - JED
8 - PAD
9 - GAO
10 - SIB

[moonsilk]

Woah!
Im really glad to see so many people interested in the thai language like me!
I can join in the teaching now!!
Haha!

Esther: I shall quote u more!
I think 199 is kinda common in shopping malls ya?
199 is pronounced as loi gao gao.And if you know chinese,the han yu pin yin should be loi3 gao4 gao4. Get it?
And 100 is neng3 roi2,200 is song3 roi2 etc...

More to add on...
Thank you = Khob khun kha
And usually when you say khob khun kha,the other person will say
Dont mention it/It's ok = Mai pen rai kha
Thais are very polite!

Notice that "I" for girls and guys are different.
Chan/Dichan = I (Said by Girls), Phom = I (Said by Guys) and lastly,
Nuu = I (Said by little kids)

I miss you = Chan/Phom kit teung khun
Chan/Phom=I, Kit teung=Miss, Khun=You
I love you = Chan/Phom rak khun
Rak=Love
I like you = Chan/Phom chorp khun
Chorp=Like

Hehe!

[esther]

Oh, ok thanks! Think i sort of got the numbers! :bounce:

To recap: 35: sam sib ha right?
Just that the number 1 is different cos from moonsilk's example, 199 is not neung gao gao but loi gao gao right?

Hundred is an addition of *-roi....

Chan rak khun! :love:

[pamujung]

ahh... Gina :kisschee:

To recap: 35: sam sib ha right? Right !

Let's see
1 = NEUNG
10 = SIB
100 = (NEUNG-)ROI
1000 = NEUNG-PUN

199 = (formal) NEUNG-ROI-GAO-SIB-GAO / (informal) ROI-GAO-GAO

[moonsilk]

Yes Esther you are right kha!
Dii maak=Very good!Haha!!
Chan rak khun du-wai(too)!

Pam!!
Khun cuup chan?!Hahaha!!
Arent you proud of me!!

[ellen_nver_falz]

Khun cuup chan?!

It means "Are you proud of me?"? I never heard of that before. Maybe I should come to this thread more often. :sweat: I've been to Thailand for five years, but my Thai is still...:shy: Alright, at least I'm trying to learn. :D

[pamujung]

Gina >> Absolutely, I am so proud of you ! hehe yup I kissed you *muah*

But your writing for Thai sound didn't correct, you always confused me and I have to guess what you mean :tongue: I don't know how they teach you at the school but Thai people they might not understand -_-"

ig. du-wai --> DUAY

Ellen Khun cuup chan?! = You kiss me ?! This thread is more than welcome you to learn Thai ^^

[moonsilk]

Pam!
I know its duay through written thai script.
I typed it as du-wai for the pronounciation sake.
If I type it as duay,many non-thais will see it as dwei I supposed~
Its ok,I think it will be fine when I talk to you real life!
Hehe!

Hi ellen!
Khun cuup chan means You kiss me!Hahaha!!!
We shall learn thai together!

More phrases to add on:
Wan jaan = Monday
Wan ang khaan = Tuesday
Wan phut = Wednesday
Wan pharue hat = Thursday
Wan suk = Friday
Wan sao = Saturday
Wan aa thit = Sunday

If anyone is not clear about pronounciation,clarify it here!

[chiyaki]

what I have to say when I speak this : I love Jay everyday of my life?
Thanks !

[HarmonyCloud]

Wow this is such an awesome thread! I have a weird question to ask here, You know how when someone who has a japanese accent and tries to speak english they mess up on "l" and "r" and so forth? Does anyone know difficult syllables for someone who knows thai to speak in english?

[Gelloy]

How to say:
1. good morning
2. execuse me
3. have a sit
4. congratulations

[pamujung]

1. good morningSa-was-dee Ton-chao
2. execuse meKor-thod ka(F)/krub(M)
3. have a sitChern-nang
4. congratulationsYin-dee Duay

[cinnimon~]

wow nice thread here =D

do remember, thais are very polite people. so add a kha/krap at the end of your sentence. its polite =)

Girls: Kha
Guys: Krap

so yeah. the basics?
hello: sa wa dee kha/krap
thank you:korp khun kha/krap
my name is sheryl: chan chi sheryl kha
for guys
my name is blahblah: phom chi blahblah krap
what's your name:chan chi arai kha?
where's the toilet: hong nam you thi nai kha/krap

will post up more next time=D

[pamujung]

what's your name:chan chi arai kha?the meaning of that sentence is wrong :happy:

if you say "chan chi arai kha?" that means "what is my name?"
if you want to ask someone name, you have to say: "Khun chi arai kha?"
