Old Hippie Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Maybe Hubby is just being a strong man! and standing up to the woman he loves, and the challanges she puts fourth! Sort of like someone else I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godolphin Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Could I complicate matters a little by asking what it means when a Thai girl text messages and puts "na ja" at the end of the message? She is from Issan (yeah, I know "aren't they all"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 no this is not complicate! same as na krap/ka; particle emphasizing a demand or asking for confirmation/agreement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, will somebody tell me how you do that in English? Of course, I am NOT demanding whatsoever. Jasmine :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godolphin Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Jasmine, Thanks for your further explanation. Is 'ja na' an expression used all over Thailand? My girlfriend is from Issan and speaks north-eastern dialect with her family. A little off the subject Jasmine but I would be interested to hear what you had to say about one of the latest Stickman reader's contributions by a writer named Arthur. Well worth the read.
