A Couple Of Colloquialisms

[chutai]

You know the almost joking lor put at the end of a sentence put as a question , e.g Koon mai chawp see dairng, lor. How is that written in Thai script please.

Also krup-pom. I guess that's just written as the two words krup and pom together ?

Cheers

Correct, although as we're talking colloquialisms the first word 'lor' could also be spelled เหรอ or หรอ as that more accurately represents its colloquial pronunciation and indeed how a Thai speaker may write it if say chatting on MSN.

that was the one that I was after = lor.

Although the second example is given as ror when I checked and has a different meaning.

True it's not really supposed to be spelled that way but it might be online e.g. จิงหรอ = จริงหรือ

or even worse, "จิงหลอ" !

However, you won't find these in the dictionary (I think-too lazy to go check), because หรอ and หลอ are not real words, like "dis", "dat", "sez", "sum". (this, that, says, some)
