Trevor Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 As used of females in respect of their deferential manner towards men. Something like demure or serving, as opposed to servile. Can't find spelling in the dictionary. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virin Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 taxexile is right, 'oht norm' is อ่อนน้อม means polite, modest, humble, describes character of people in all ages, genders, not only women to men. คุณลุงคนนี้เป็นคนอ่อมน้อมถึงแม้ว่าเขาจะมีฐานะดีมาก This old man is humble even though he is very wealthy.

joy2 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Not only the woman can "awn nawm" to her husband but also means...the students humble to the teacher, the staff humble to the boss, the younger sister or younger brother humble to older brother or older sister. ...the main point for thai culture...if you are 'awn nawm " and "jing jai"(sincere) the percentage to be unemployee or not succeed about anything in you life is....Low chokdee Joy2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepyjohn Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) อ่อนน้อม i guess อ่อน means "soft". What does the น้อม mean in this? Edited June 17, 2008 by sleepyjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5tash Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 อ่อนน้อมi guess อ่อน means "soft". What does the น้อม mean in this? In this case you could translate อ่อน as 'to be submissive' and นอ้ม means 'to bow, to bend' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
