Boon Mee Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meadish_sweetball Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 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.

sabaijai Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to the site is: http://www.thaitv3.com/learnthai/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
