Neeranam Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 what does 'kreng krat' mean? I heard it used speaking about not celebrating next weeks holiday. Does it mean not religious or not devout possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aanon Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) what does 'kreng krat' mean?I heard it used speaking about not celebrating next weeks holiday. Does it mean not religious or not devout possibly? assuming it's เคร่งครัด, it actually means strict, especially in a religious sense. so, perhaps people are saying something like "X is not celebrating the holiday because he is strictly religious" ie. the holiday is contrary to his own strict religious beliefs. do you have an example sentence? all the best. ps. usually you'll see นับถือ [a religion] อย่างเคร่งครัด = to believe strictly in the religion; to be a devout follower Edited February 17, 2008 by aanon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siamesekitty Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) Are you talking about "เคร่งครัด?" ? If so, then it would actually mean "to be religious" or "strictly follow tradition". Perhaps there was a "ไม่่" in there that you didn't catch. Edited February 17, 2008 by siamesekitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
