1FinickyOne Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 well, I would have to hear it... but if it only happens when people are bumped by surprise - it sounds like just an exclamation of surprise... oooh, owww, maybe? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeBOzbourne Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Ten Thai Interjections. Not sure if 'Aw' is here. It would help to see it spelled in Thai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the person actually said ขอโทษ I'm sorry.mp3 English translation "sorry", but your ears missed the first, more softly spoken first syllable and the starting T of the second syllable and you did not notice the glottal stop at the end, leaving you with what sounded like aw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Response: Aaw! I need to borrow 200 baht. Response: Aaw! I can't come to your party. Response: Aaw! เอาละ Aw la (pronounced like English exclamation of pain) means all right, okay.
