khwaimaisabai Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi sd, I though na glua meant frightening. Glua means "to be afraid" - afaik. Tokjai is an alternative but is less strong than glua, I believe, but both can mean "I am scared". Khwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi, Wouldn't it be just 'klua'? 'Na-klua' is more like 'scary' as far as I know. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Di Chan or Chan (©Ñ¹) is for women, Men say Pom (¼Ã) for "I". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, 'Chan ruk ter' = I love you ; it can be used for both male and female. Since I didn't assume the gender of the poster, so I used the non-gender word. Thanks for the clarification.

Pom_Jao_Choo Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I stand ready to be corrected but my understanding of the word is the same as OH's. In some instances men use the feminant, like when they speak of the love for a woman to be more personable. To step down from their position as the dominant male and state that the love is based on a position as an equal. And women will at times use the masculine if they are asserting themselves like in a board room meeting correcting a naughty son etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
