SoftWater Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 just looking for an extra phrase to go along with 'please speak slowly'. I'm not sure if its natural or not (probably not...), but how about งง ง่ายๆ เสมอ ngong ngai(2) ngai(2) sa-mer(4) [lit: confused very easily always] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoot Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Ops. Sorry, I didn't read your question well. If you want to say "please speak slowly, I get confused very easily", you can say "ช่วยพูดช้าลงหน่อยได้ไหมครับ ผมยิ่งงงง่าย ๆ อยู่ด้วย" chûay pôot cháa long nòi dâi măi kráp · pŏm yîng ngong ngâai ngâai yòo dûay.

oevna Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 just looking for an extra phrase to go along with 'please speak slowly'. I'm not sure if its natural or not (probably not...), but how about งง ง่ายๆ เสมอ ngong ngai(2) ngai(2) sa-mer(4) [lit: confused very easily always] I don't know if I'd use งง because it might imply that the speaker wasn't speaking intelligibly! I usually just say ขอโทษ ช่วยพูดช้าๆนะครับ ผมฟังไม่ทันครับ (literally: sorry, please speak slowly, I can't keep up listening.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anothertorres Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 the thought behind "i get confused very easily" is to say something cute, something to ease the tension (for myself). i'm still not as confident as i'd like to be, so i was just looking for something to make them smile and in turn, give it back to them to help me or rather, have patience with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid people would get confused what you meant to say. พูดไรอะ 555 "ช่วยพูดช้าลงหน่อยได้ไหมครับ ผมยิ่งงงง่าย ๆ อยู่ด้วย" with a wink, would get a laugh from them.

My point was that if I spoke poorly (as I do), they would be more likely to take pity on me and help me with my Thai. When it comes to speaking Thai poorly, I am something of an expert.
