soalbundy Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I am assuming that โมนี is anglesized 'money' in which case it means 'money is loveable' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had assumed it was a Thai nickname. It never occurred to me the first word was an English word in Thai script. Quite often when I see a similar English word in Thai it goes right over my head, missing the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mony and Money are indeed Thai nicknames. In fact there's a girl in my daughters school with the nickname "Money Money". Along with "Mafia", "Benz Benz", "Porche", "Van Disel", "Iphone" etc. Amazing what their parents can come up with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Facebook' is a kid near us, also 'beer'. Not yet heard anyone called 'pint of bitter' or '<deleted>' though. edit: Ha ha! I see I've fallen fowl of the auto-censor above! If only I could remember what I wrote ten minutes ago...it definitely wasn't anything dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My children have common European names, which are also printed on their school uniforms, no nicknames. I'm sure some of the Thais find that weird????

She said "สายเปย์ที่แท้ทรู" this is slang. If you use google translate you will get "true line true". สายเปย์ = someone easy to pay for the other people ที่แท้ทรู = true, real สาย = sai เปย์ = pay ที่ = tee แท้ = tae ทรู = true is it a word that can be used in both a bad way and a good way with regards to a person?

jackdd Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 You should continue in one of your topics instead of asking your questions in both Just now, jackdd said: สายเปย์ที่แท้ทรู = a person who likes to pay for others The exact meaning does of course depend on the situation. You are paying to get a girls affection, this clearly means sugar daddy ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea ทรู - the English word - was used in Thai for the same meaning? I always associate it with the cable/TV company True Visions I thought จริง was used for true, and สาย was line - as in cable, for electric or comms?
