คุฌค่ารอยเเปด

Featured Replies

Ran across the expression คุฌค่ารอยเเปด in one of my beginner reading books and was told it's basically a slang expression for 'many good things'.

Just wondering if anyone is familiar?

Cheers,

บุญมี

คุณค่า = Value

ร้อยแปด (ร้อยแปดพันเก้า) 108-1009 = too much, too many (slang)

ฉันมีธุระร้อยแปดอย่างI have too many errands

มารยาร้อยแปดเล่มเกวียน to much trick (use for woman)

It was just an expression in my P3 Reading Book

Bambi has illustrated well how "rooi bpaed (yaang)" is used - with the entire expression "khunkhaa rooi bpaed" I think "an opulence/abundance of positive traits/benefits" would come close.

Bit like saying : I have a 101 things to do today......

Trivia: 108 is an auspicious number in the Hindu-Buddhist tradition, and in many other cultures as well, see:

108

and also

Why 108?

One explanation is that the number is a hyperfactorial of 3, itself auspicious in most cultures.

Thank you for the interesting links, Sabaijai.

Here is a little bit of information from a TV program เรียงถ้อยร้อยคำ site on ร้อยแปด

ร้อย เมื่อนำมาใช้ในสำนวนไทยหมายถึงมาก หรือทั้งหมด ตัวอย่างเช่น ร้อยทั้งร้อย แปลว่า หมดทั้งสิ้น มีเท่าไหร่ก็หมด เช่น พ่อแม่ให้เงินเขาใช้แต่ละเดือนมากเหลือเกิน แต่ร้อยทั้งร้อย ไม่เคยพอ อีกสำนวนหนึ่ง ร้อยแปด แปลว่า จำนวนมากมายหลายอย่างต่างชนิด เช่น ฉันคงไปเที่ยวไม่ได้ เพราะยังมีงานร้อยแปดที่ยังทำไม่เสร็จ
