gawguy Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 I've tried to say this without luck. I'm not trying to ask, "What kind of work do you do?" I'm trying to find out from a girl who I know doesn't work, and who claims not to see other men, what she lives off of? I want to ask something like: "How is it that you have money?" or "What do you do for money?" Thanks, GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 A few possible ways to get this idea across. 'dai ngern jahk tee nai?' Where does your money come from? 'dai ngern yung ngai?' How do you get money? 'laew tam mai teung khun mee ngern? dai mah jak nai?' Why is it that you have money? where does it come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
