Apropos to this discussion, I noticed the following in Lexitron:

"rabbit food [sL] ; ผักสลัด"

whereas,

"ผักสลัด [N] lettuce"

[Hannahcopacabana]

Thanks very much folks.

So if I go into a restaurant and ask for rabbit food, I'd get a salad? (Much the same as UK then..)

Also, the OP doesn't specify whether he means the noun or verb

Here's Thai-Language.com's version of the noun:

กระต่าย gra^L dtaay^L (noun) rabbit; hare

[withnail]

The SL in Lexitron stands for slang and it's British/American slang not Thai.

When I pointed at next-doors pet rabbits and asked my lovely 'what is this called' she looked at me a bit funny and said 'labbit'

Agree it's gra-dtaai

I lubbit!

[5tash]

There was a popular war time song, sung by Flanagan and Allen titled "lun labbit lun".

[phaethon]

STOP IT!

Everybody knows it's supposed to be pronunced "WABBIT"

just as long as you didn't tell her that you were going to shoot it (ยิงกระต่าย) - then it could have taken on a whole new meaning

I could not find a correct Elmer Fudd image for that one.

lol, yes a whole new meaning, I wonder how many foreigners really know the word ยิงกระต่าย mean.

[5tash]

just as long as you didn't tell her that you were going to shoot it (ยิงกระต่าย))

she could always join you and "pick flowers".

[Jay_Jay]

Just as long as they're not golden!

[yadetout]

not a big difference but...

we can suppose gai as Kai too

Kra - taai

I mean it will sound much logical for languages such as French.

In this case, for french speakers = Kra - Taille (and don't forget to roll the R at kRa)

Just as long as they're not golden!

So is anyone going to explain this pun?

Golden showers (flowers)?

I had a few good laughs.

And really, the "labbit" and "wabbit" were the best.

However, I do not like those carrot eaters at all.

One day I tried to grab a rabbit, missed a rabbit hole, and managed to hit a nasty boulder.

Bumped my head, ended up with 19 stitches from brow to halfway my hair.

Spent 6 days in hospital, and the best part, my insurance did not pay out because.......eh, don't know.

Cost me 4600 Euro.

You might say, the bloody animal won!

F*cking labbits

Yes, I know it is not related to the thread!

But I have something against rabbits

So sorry
