No, definitely not (unless it was about 4am, by which time he might have been feeling a bit sleepy).

Maybe NEU-AY ��ือย - (I'm) tired...?

 

It's �ห�ื�อย. You were almost correct.

 

To OP, I have no idea what the word is. First I thought it was "tired" like Boo did. But it seems it is not.

 

[Boo Radley]

The Thai dictionary I looked in had the entries (with 2 spellings for NEU-AY):

�ห�ื�อย - tired

��ือย - tired, listless, apathetic, indifferent etc

eg ��ือยล� - to become tired, lose steam, lose one's pep

So I guess it could be tired in the sense of fatigue (due to heat etc), rather than sleepy.

But am not a native Thai speaker, so could well be wrong lol

I'm gonna throw a random thought out there.

I have heard Thai's using "Oy" as an exclamitory.

And there is the word "nii" like "Tii nii" (place,here). Any chance it's a localized exclamation "whats this?" ?

Usually Thais don't use the word ��ือย alone. They would say "Wan nee tham mai doo nuey nuey long?" วั��ี��ำ�ม�ู��ือย�ล� Why do you look so tired (non- active) today?

 

NO ONE says the word alone by itself. And this word is not used much in daly life anyway.

Bkkshag/(goodthaigril?):

Nearly right. Its 'daily' not daly. NO ONE ever spells it like daly!

Well, I need look no further than my better half to hear it on a nearly daily basis.

Hmm, that is quite contrary to my experience of course YMMV.

 

cheers

"shag[color:red]/[/color]" and "goodthaig[color:red]ril[/color]" are correct ?

 

I'm not going to knitpicking you. But I believe small typing mistakes are allowed here ?

 

Cheers !

Hua Nguu,

 

Obviously my experiences are different from yours. I've never heard it expressed alone by itself, at least from my circle of friends and families.

 

Cheers !
