What Is Thai For 'rabbit'?

Featured Replies

Rabbit=Gradtai mid tone the dt dipthong is a combination of die/thai

Rabbit; gra-dtaai

Both the first and second syllables are low tones.

Gor Gai, Ror Rua, sara ugh! mid tone, Dor Dtaw, sara aar, yor yak, Mai ake low tone

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

"rabbit food [sL] ; ผักสลัด"

whereas,

"ผักสลัด [N] lettuce"

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 :o

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

กระต่าย graL dtaayL (noun) rabbit; hare

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' :o

Agree it's gra-dtaai

"I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

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

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 :o

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.

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". :o

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)

:o

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
