rookie Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I've been told the following and have been unable to confirm the phrases online. 1-when advising someone that they are driving their moto with the kickstand still down (not raised), you say: "dtaai khaa"... (dtaii is 'straight') and khaa (rising tone is 'leg') 2-the phrase for riding a motorcycle _off-road_ is "wei baack". (no if idea about the tones or this is correct) Anyone know if these are correct and also the proper tones? thx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Ok, ran this by my teacher, she gave this... 1) dtaÌ‚ai khaÌŒa (falling, rising) = under your leg! 2) wiÃŒÂ-baÌŒag (high,low) = literary means horrendously harsh. But this word is typically used as a modifier (adjective) to call "obstacle run" = wiÌ‚ng wiÃŒÂ-baÌ€ag. In this case, the off-road motorcycling is called obstacle ride. In Thai... à ¹ƒà ¸•à ¹‰à ¸‚à ¸² à ¸§à ¸´à ¸šà ¸²à ¸ Hope that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
