limbo Posted April 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 In Dutch naam (water in Thai) means name, to hijack my own thread. Anybody else with words in their respective languages besides English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Dam lourd; thai - police Dam sounds like English - damn Lourd sounds like Danish - lort (shit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pescator Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi SorenP, Not really. Dtam is pronounced with "Dtor Dtao" a hard d-sound somewhere between a "d" and a "t" and a short "a" sound. That is why it is often tranliterated with "dt". It really doesn`t sound remotely like Damn(ed) in english/american. "Ruat" not "Lourd" although I agree that generally initial "r" sounds often sound like a "l". But try listen to speakers on TV and radio and you will hear it pronounced correctly. In thai you do have words sounding somewhat like the danish word "Lort". The word for "straw" and "tube" is in thai "Lawt" (english pronounciation) and that comes out exactly like the jutlandian version of the word lort. :: Cheers Hua Nguu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun_Kong Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 samak said:and there is a line in the song Kokain which goes "she don't like" which is pronounced by thais "see don lai" and this has a totally different meaning in isaan! I asked GF what "see don lie" means, pronounced it exactly as spelled. She said, "Pooying mai chorp"! What does it mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 see don lai is isaan and means doing IT very long GF might be a bit shy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pescator Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Hi Samak, See Gan, See pronounced with a falling tone means having sex indeed. A rather crude term though. I haven`t got around to asking a TG if she "likes Seacon (Square)" :: Lai or rather laai with a high tone/long vowel I would suspect?? means much or many. But what about the "don" ??? I don`t get that. Cheers Hua Nguu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 don means long (time); agree on the other two words, however thought see has a rising tone no dictionary to check at the moment as i am travelling. see dai bo? see dai yoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pescator Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Hi LC He could mean that, but beside from the long green beans, there is also the Fuck Thoong. The orange-coloured pumpkin. Cheers Hua Nguu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
