Goodthaigirl Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Hi, I have two questions. 1. One of the posters mention using swear word 'Oh my God' as funny when it is used by a girl. So, which Thai word is equivolant to this? When should I use it? Some examples would be greatly appreciate it. 2. What does bullshitting mean in Thai? Maybe ´èÒ ?

Boo Radley Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 1. ¾Ø´â¸è 2. µÃáËÅ (¾Ø´â¸è is sometimes translated as alas! in some dictionaries as well.) Er...I think you'll find most of these in a dictionary if you didn't know them already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodthaigirl Posted June 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Thanks Boo, I find it is not exactly what it means sometime, like we don't use ¾Ø·â¸ anymore. Please give me some examples. This way it will give me the exact context to use it later. Thanks GTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 we don't use ¾Ø´â¸ [sic] anymore. If you know ¾Ø´â¸è, wouldn't you know the modern equivalent in Thai? P.S. a while back someone asked you if you knew the Thai for pre-menstrual tension. Is there no Thai word for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeng bireley Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Nong Good Thai Girl, Oh My God can be said by M or F no problem at all. The only person it might offend is a strict Christian (I couldnt imagine there be any of these on this board) but being slang probably best used with people you know. May be your use might have been out of place. What post ? This phrase is just an exclamation and its meaning changes with intonation. I suppose equivalents in thai would be µÒ ! (taay !) µÒÂáÅéÇ (taay laew) or µÒÂÅà (taayla). Not like ´èÒ (daa) at all. Bullshitting is just slang for lying µÃáËÅ (tolae) Daeng Bireley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibblies Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 I can't add much more than Boo except that I find it very helpful sometimes to see how they translate such expressions in subtitled movies. Of course, you'd probably get the Bowdlerised (cleaned-up) versions! To "bullshit" is to exaggerate something, to lie, often in a humourous rather than a malicious way. I thought âµáËÅ (sp?)was the general translation, but it could also be translated as "to boast", depending on the context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidel Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Hey GTG... I reckon the closest meaning in Thai for 'Oh My God' is Ouee, Khun Phra Chuai! That's what I've been told.... I think that Thai girls use Oh My God in place of the above. Viva La Revolution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodthaigirl Posted June 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Thanks, Keep it coming ! One more word: BITCHING ? GTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeng bireley Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Good Thai Girl, slang for great or really good. Something like à ¨ç§ jeng. Daeng Bireley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodthaigirl Posted June 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 I've read some posters saying things like they're bitching Thais this and that. I thought it meant 'complain' ºè¹ or 'curse' ´èÒ. May be it has other meanings too? GTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
