Pescator Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I am very well familiar with the verbs: Dai, Wai, Pben and the situations in which they are used. But in what situations would you choose "Samart" to substitute either one of those if possible? Or does it convey an altogether connotation. Please provide some examples if possible. I only come across this word in writing, never really heard anybody using it when speaking. Cheers Hua Nguu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Samak is right. However, one often hears "samart tum dai", which would mean "capable of doing it". A bit different from just "Tum Dai" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
