Guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 ricosuave I'm sure there are better cunning linguists than me on the board but here goes...... Yindee = pleased Kwahmsuk = happiness ( mee kwahmsuk = have happiness) Geng = skilled cha-laat = clever See-ung = noise (see-ung dahng = loud noise) sohn = naughty, mischievous poo-ay = ill (more usually mai sabai) So you weren't really far out at all rico! jee = to tickle jak ah jee = ticklish kap roht moto sy = motorcyclist (not completely sure about the last one especially - I know 'kap roht' refers to a car driver - I assume that the term would apply to the 'driver' of a 'moto sy' also. As I said - maybe better to wait for the real cunning linguists to confirm before taking any of the above as 'gospel' Good luck Arai wa [ July 02, 2001: Message edited by: Arai wa ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyfarang Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 Rico- Arai Wa is pretty accurate. My take: YINDEE pleased, glad (idiom) Also used as a response the KHAP KHUN to mean "You're welcome" DEE JAI glad, happy MEE KWAAM SUK happy (a little more formal) CHA-LAHT clever GENG to do something well, to be skilled at SEEANG sound SEEANG DANG loud sound, noise EUK-KA-TEUK very loud noise, din, commotion I don't hear this word used much. SEUKSON, SON naughty, mischievous The Northern term for this is SA-LEET®NAK(l) Always good for a laugh around the Northern girls. PUAI, JEP PUAI sickly, in ill health BAT JEP injured MAI SABAI to feel sick, to be sick, to not feel well This is the most commonly heard term. KON KHAP ROT MO TO SAI would be correct but you don't hear it much. There must be a shorter term out there You might hear KEE ROT even more often JAK AH JEE I think this means "ticklish" but I sometimes hear it used meaning "to tickle"?

luckyfarang Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 The most common word you will hear is: YAHP(l) literal meaning: rough, crude MAI RIAP(f)ROY(h) untidy, disorderly MAA® KHAANG TA-NON® literally "a stray dog" Slang meaning: a scruffy derelict dressed in rags.
