Use Of 'sa-neh' = Charm, Attractiveness

[Trevor]

Please help me out on the use of 'Sa-neh'.

'Mee Sa-neh' = There's an attraction (either between a couple, or by one party) (?)

'Pom long (or wai) Sa-neh nai dtua khun = I feel attracted to you (?)

Other examples ... ? Thanks.

'Mee Saneh' would mean somebody has considerable charisma. I would not use it to describe a couple, just for a single, extra-ordinary person.

'Pom long (or wai) Sa-neh nai dtua khun = I feel attracted to you (?)

...and this one would read to me: 'I have made you feel attracted to me'

edited to add further uses of Saneh:

One possible scenario would be when you go to a witch doctor and want to purchase 'saneh'. Then you would ask what kinds of 'saneh' could help you. There are balms to rub on your lips so you can sweet-talk people into anything, there are amulets, you name it.

"Mee sa-neh" also means charming: "Yim mee saneh" (a lovely smile)

hi,

'mee saneh' : to have charms, to be charming, to be attractive or charismatic

as sutnyod said, usually just refers to one person

as for "phom long saneh nai dtua khun", i would think that the second word is หลง (low rising tone), which means 'to fall for' or 'to be taken in by'. so, the full sentence would mean "i've been seduced by your charms". but i can't make sense of "phom wai saneh nai dtua khun".

sutnyod's explanation would make sense of either 'long' ลง (neutral tone) or 'wai' ไว้, though i must admit i've never come across the witch doctor love spells thing before.

all the best.
