gawguy Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 I'm having a problem looking up this little word? Someone said something about putting food in their mouth, "Y phak." or "Wai phak." I said I didn't want to eat now but wanted to put the food in the refrigerator. She said I could say, "Ow sai y nai dtoo yen." What is the word for word translation of that? Thanks, GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Hi, I think it means something similar to "keep". Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markle Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 äÇé (wai) In general it means 'to place' or 'to put' but it is one of those words that will shift meaning depending on context and when used in association with other words. Here are a few common ones. à ¡çºäÇé (gep wai) - put away, keep hidden etc ½Ò¡äÇé (fahk wai) - put under care/safekeeping ãËéäÇé (hai wai) - give and so on....
