I just need some definative usages for these to get a grip on them..anyone??

i understand the need to clarify, heres the way i understand them.

duu, duu thoratat (to watch tv) duu nang (to watch a movie)

jer,pop and haa, question, bai nai? (where are you going?)

answer, bai pop/haa/jer puan (to meet/visit/see a friend)

hen, to see question hen mai? (do you see?)

answer mong mai hen (didnt see)

sometimes these words will be interchanged, eg hen and jer, my wife asks if i found/seen the keys on the table, she may say hen/jer mai?

others more knowlegable than i will no doubt clear up what i may have missed out of failed to explain in full.

duu = to watch, such as duu TV (watching TV).

jer = to meet, such as bai jer peuan (go see a friend).

pop = not sure about this one, if you could type it in Thai I could probably help.

haa = to look for, such as chun haa waen mai jer (I cant find my glasses)

hen = to see, such as chun hen kao keun roht may (I saw him get on the bus.)

thanks for those examples, it does go someway to clearing it up, now just to get down to using them correctly...lol

Oz

pop (พบ) = 1) discover, find out or 2) meet, a bit more formal than เจอ (jer)

' pop ' is pretty well the same as ' jer ', as in the song, sabai sabai ' pop gan mai '

meaning to meet again. If you want to check in a dictionary the spellings are :

พบ pop , to meet. เจอ jer , to meet, to come across.

Which reminds me, whoever designed the layout for the Thai keyboard should be taken out and shot at dawn. No reason or system in it that I can detect.
