Any Help With Translation...?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all.

Was wondering if anyone could help with translation. Basically I am friends with my ex- thai girlfriend's sister who is 16 years old on facebook and since some guy wrote this comment on her page she doe's not want to speak to me anymore.

I understand thai a little and I am pretty sure what he is saying is not very nice at all (something like "you are having sex with a white elephant") etc....would be grateful if someone could translate word for word into english....?

Many thanks

Heres what he wrote: โอ้วยุ้ยสปี้กกิ้งอิงริชO-o

All it says is: "Oh, (name=Uwee?) you're speaking English." With "speaking English" being the English words transcribed in Thai letters, said in a playful manner.

You can always use a free web translation service, just search English Thai or Thai English translation. Your sister can do this in the future. Those Thai kids on just want to play Farmville

Actually, I'd say people are better off posting these kind of things here in the forum. Web translators can't make much sense out of even correctly spelled and grammatically well-ordered Thai - they certainly can't handle teenage slang or, as in this case, English word/phrases spelled out in thai orthography.

'Oh Yui, speaking Engrish, ohh!' sounds like he's just teasing your friend, sounds innocuous enough to me, but why she would not talk to you after this could suggest there is some unknown context to the remark. Or some other explanation for her silence (sister's input? short-attention span of teenagers? who knows?)
