DavidHouston Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Apropos to this discussion, I noticed the following in Lexitron: "rabbit food [sL] ; ผักสลัด" whereas, "ผักสลัด [N] lettuce" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaethon Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 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 graL dtaayL (noun) rabbit; hare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withnail Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The SL in Lexitron stands for slang and it's British/American slang not Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yadetout Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansnl Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Just as long as they're not golden! So is anyone going to explain this pun? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
