Alyona Sharkut Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Which Thai words are from your point of view associated with the Thai culture, their people and lifestyle? How are they reflected in the Thai language? E.g. Eskimos have many words for „snow“ as it is important for life. The expression „inshaallah“ describes the Islamic attitude toward life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaijack2014 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Most likely there are many words for rice, as I know from Indonesia and Japan. But kao can also be used for white and 9. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
