happydays Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I was thinking that since we're not going to get any English commentary for the World Cup maybe I could use it as an opportunity to pick up some new Thai vocab. Here are some phrases I've learned: lum naa - offside bai liang - yellow card bai daeng - red card luhk tawd - penalty Maybe we could create a glossary of Thai football commentators' phrases? (Feel free to correct my transliteration) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoydy Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 If you got to this site: http://podcast.com/ then search site for Thai: then click learn thai podcast You will see several Thai football phrase lessons. I did not listen to them. Just passing it along for football fans. Nice link there Klons, From the first lesson. These are more like phrases you would use while watching the game. อืมต้องอย่างนี้ซิ - yeah that's it (after your team scores) วันนี้มีได้เสีย - someone has to win, someone has to lose today อเมริกายิงเลยจะเลี้ยงไว้ทำไม - America should just attack อังกฤษชนะเหนๆ - England will win อังกฤษหมูแพ้ชัวร์ - England will lose for sure ตีไข่ให้แตก - c'mon get the first goal These are how they are approximately translated in the lesson, i've dropped the วะ particle which he's used, you can add it yourself if that's how you'd like to speak but i tend not to. I'll add more as i get through them. There's also ชนเสา - hit the post ได้เปรียบ - to play advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's right. Where i live these debt collectors ride around in pairs, always on a Honda CBR 150, with the full helmet on so no one knows who they are.
