Lyep-loy

[Becker]

I hear that word/expression being used quite often but don't know the meaning. Can somebody please enlighten me?

[allane]

To my ear, it is more or less "rip-roy'. It means"o.k."

[Sheryl]

A little more than "OK" I think. It means "in order" or "proper", arranged as it should be.

 

[johng]

It can mean "sorted" as in its all sorted out now.
Also used when someone has an accident.. maybe translates as "and thats that"

[MaeJoMTB]

Starts with an 'R'

Task finished or completed.

Is my broken m/c repaired and ready for collection? ....... reeyap rawy. เรียบร้อย

 

Trying to learn Thai from Issan farmers is not effective.

เรียบร้อย rîiap-rɔ́ɔi ???? tidy, orderly 

[Sheryl]

Yes. Probably the best translation is "in proper order".

Yes in central thai and pronounced with ร it means as in the picture. However, almost always only hear it as meaning everything is in order or done or taken care of. Eg. Your in a bank and opening an account. When finished the teller says riep roy, meaning its all done. 

One thing to note in issan dialect liep loy (same but pronounced with L (ล) means หล่อ or handsome. I cannot remember if it can also be applied to women eg suay (สวย). 

So if your hearing this often in issan then its prob just women chatting saying your handsome
