loong Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Briggsy wrote that "ge ga" เกะกะ means in the way;obstructing and ITR as missbehaving or making trouble so does obstructing here mean that you cannot pass, ie something is physically blocking the way? Does it have 2 meanings ( or 3 including higgledy-piggledy or disorderly/Adverb). Is it normally applied to an adult or a child? Please give some examples of it's use in common speech as I like the sound of this word and want to add it to my vocab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyfarang Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 งอแง ngor ngae be petulant ; be peevish ; be irritable หงุดหงิด ngòot-ngìt be in a bad temper ; be in a bad mood ; be moody Love the sound of หงุดหงิด ngaw ngae - - petulant and peevish seem to be the best available translations, but I never use these words myself, so I have been searching my brain for a more usable translation into english, maybe there isn't one. ngut ngit - - my opinion: the most accurate translation would be grouchy, irritable, grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Loong I always thought หงุดหงิด was fidgety; unable to settle; unable to relax though this could look the same to somebody else as being in a bad mood. Maybe I'm wrong. I use อารมณ์เสีย for being in a bad mood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcatlady Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 There's the ubiquitous 'sanook-sanan' meaning enjoyable or fun. I also get called 'sum-saam' (clumsy) but maybe it's because I'm a bit 'tuiy-nuiy' - plump. And there's 'sot ruu sot hen' meaning nosy, or the more polite version of 'yaak ruu yaak hen' meaning curious. My absolute personal favourite is 'salop salay' meaning unconcious, usually in reference to drinking too much. I've found learning Thai language quite difficult but these little expressions certainly brighten my day. MCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
