MartinDK Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 The girls i'm with usually used the word ''home'' or the french word for man. They say it if they sniff my cheast or neck. I would guess it has something to do with the deodorant i use?? I always wash/shower before i go out with a girl and like to be clean. Anyone? Thanks- Martin- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinDK Posted May 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 Db, Thanks for your answer! I guess when someone is cooking food and i like the smell i can used the word ''home'' (HAWM) or ''home aloi'' (HAWM ALAWY) as well? Martin- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pescator Posted May 26, 2002 Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 In Isarn the superlative would be Sahp Laai Elee. Hua Nguu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2002 Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 Home: It means the place that you are living which have your family included too. But if you mean smell good it should be(Hom mak mak or hawm mak mak) Sap for Isan that means very delicous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentors Posted May 26, 2002 Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 hawm means smell good, the sniffing is a typical style of affection in the thaiculture. But on these days the western kiss coming more and more popular not only in the tourist areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pescator Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Hi Martin, Quote: "The girls i'm with usually used the word ''home'' or the french word for man" I don`t mean to be nit-picking here, but I`d say that the french pronounciation of "homme" has very little to do with "Horm" in thai. Firstly the "h" in "homme" is silent and furthermore it has a double consonant. Hmm, guess I was nit-picking after all, solleee! "Horm" in thai could also refer to the famous thai "sniff kiss". llike in: "Kor Horm Gaem Noi" Can I (sniff)kiss your cheek? "Horm Aroy" would be understood but you would never hear a thai say that. Both words make good sense on their own, but you cannot combine them the way you would in english or danish for that matter. Just to be sure on this I doublechecked with the long-haired dictionary.
