ตะงิด

Featured Replies

Yesterday a Thai teenager asked me what ตะงิด meant.

A perusal of dictionaries didn't help, does anyone have any ideas?

Thanking in advance,

Was he possibly asking you for help with an English word, using a thai pronounciation? It would make sense that he would ask a thai person if it was a thai word and a farang regarding the translation of an english word.

If Mauiguy is right then "dang it" maybe?

I was thinking more like 'target' or 'tangent' but 'dang it' has a better twang to it. I'd go with that. :)

She spelt it wrong, it should be ตะหงิด and from what I can gather it means to know, but only know a little, maybe to have an inkling of.

ตะหงิด and ตงิด (no ' ะ' ) seem to be related. The second one is probably in your dictionary.

Meanings

1: "slightly"

2: "have an itch to do something"

I have an old thai/thai dictionary that gives

ตะหงิดๆ - ค่อนข้างอยากจะทำ

[my translation: 'sort of want to do it'. If correct I'm not sure exactly how to capture this in English. Does it imply that you are ambivalent about doing something?]
