khunsanuk Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi, "3) if she has a baby son" Or just when talking to young boys. It is done to help them learn to use 'khrap'. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Yes, in class she did mention that some parents will use "Ka" or "krup" themselves, in an effort to teach their children the gender specific terms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Michael Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 OH, WTF? :: :: :: pretty much what Pom_Michael said I guess... I don't remember even being in this thread. Thanks for agreeing with me. Hey, is the Thai girl still staying with you? I need a room in SFO next month. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Ah yeh...er ah, can I claim Vicodin and boredom as the causefor this mistake?: I of course got confused by the "Pom..." in the name...any way, I ment to credit Pom_Jao_Choo as the scholar! Sorry for any inconvience... "...Hey, is the Thai girl still staying with you? I need a room in SFO next month..." No, TG left, thankgod! The bitch left! lousy house guest! and a really nasty nasty bitch..."Dragon Lady" would be an understatement...but yeah, PM me with details, I will be on crutches until the middle of the month, but can get around a bit. Have a Futon you can sleep on...er ah wait, you aren't comming here for "Pride week" are you...? ANyway, give me details... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pescator Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 This was sort of my understanding as well...could be wrong...actually, as I think of it...there might not be a gender nuetral way to address of one self...it would be either or. Except of course for the exceptions you mention...I'll ask my teacher in an email... Hi OH, Rao as in we/us is also frequently used meaning in colloguial thai. Dtua Eng Guu (not really an option of course but still a gender neutral way to address of oneself) Cheers Hua Nguu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharcyde Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Thats right Hua Nguu. Only for me to add that the "dtua-eng" as meaning "you" between really close friends even becomes just "eng". Dont try and use that with just anyone though, as I am pretty sure its considered very rude. God Skt. Hans! Pharcyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pescator Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Hi Pharcyde, I would think so too. I think I`ll stick to "mung" instead, it seems to go down well :: Had a great Skt. Hans by the way for once at decent temperatures and no rain. Hard to beat the scandinavian summer under these circumstances. Hope you enjoyed it too.

BkkShaggy Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I have to agree with Gimigut. My experience with my Thai colleagues is that males speaks to females using "Chan" , not "Pom". Pom would be TOO polite. Chan is more preferable.When I asked about this question they were all agree with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
