Before

[Pilchard]

Mornin all

Can anyone give me a hand with this use of the word before.

How would one say

"go before the boss arrives"

and

"turn the lights out before you go"

Thanks

I would use ก่อน gohn in both cases here.

ไปก่อนเจ้านายมานะซิ

bpai gòn jâao naai maa ná sí you could replace jâao naai with a name or kao

ปิดไฟก่อนนะ I've left 'you go' off the end as I think it would most likely be obvious, but I guess you could say gon oog jaak baan or something

bpìt fai gòn ná

The particles are my attempt to sound natural please correct me someone if I don't.

exactly what i was after,

Thanks
