thai3 Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 I can usually understand what the GF writes but this one baffles me. She tells me she has opened a shop, not clear if she has stopped working in the bar but adds May be I walked jap krai Falang . at least , I dont worry because I have krai farang I can jap ?-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markle Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 May be I walked jap krai Falang . at least , I dont worry because I have krai farang I can jap I think she intends to say 'jap kai falang' which means to sell something with the specific target of attracting falang. So here is the general gist of what she's saying... I think. "Maybe I'll walk around sell it to falangs. I'm sure there are falangs that I can sell it too."

samak Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 sorry markle but my interpretation is much more simple jap krai farang; catch who farang krai farang i can jap: have a certain farang i can catch/touch/hug so the whole sentence in free translation: i have walked around to catch which farang; at least i do not worry because i have a farang i can hug/touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiery Jack Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 She might have confused the verbs "walk(ed)" and "work(ed)" (Japanese do that a lot, since they tend to pronounce the two identically)? Just an idea: if she meant "worked" it might make more sense, given she's opened a shop? j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
