rice washing vocabulary

Featured Replies

Is there a special verb used for 'wash' when talking about washing rice before cooking? I seem to recall there is, but can't find it with a search.

ซาวข้าว 

ซาว saao

From LEXiTRON, for ซาว:


เอาข้าวสารล้างน้ำด้วยวิธีใช้มือคนให้ทั่วเพื่อให้สะอาดก่อนหุงต้ม เรียกว่า ซาวข้าว

I find the construction interesting.  ทั่ว seems to be ungrammatical in that it's use here cannot be justified by the RID. คนใหทั่ว However It gives me the impression that the job is done thoroughly.  Stirring up every grain of rice.

So I see คนให้ทั่วเมล็ด เพื่อ...  which is to say เอวข้าวสารล้างนำ้ทั่วเมล็ด I suppose that I would be laughed at if I actually said that, but I have said it!
