ดื่มด่ำ

[Girlfrombar]

ดื่มด่ำ....

it feels like between impressing and perceiving

example:

ดื่มด่ำธรรมชาติ

ดื่มด่ำกับเสียงเพลง

or it may uses 'enjoy'

like; enjoy the music... enjoy the nature

but it's still not the exactly meaning in which i'd love to express.

If you are "deeply impressed" by something.. it means something along the lines of "very impressed" or "extremely impressed" .. but in a way that has changed your thinking about someone or something possibly..

Enjoy is a worn-out expression, especially here in Thailand, I feel. It means about as much as you feel special when the waitress at McDonald's says "Enjoy your meal". I dont know about the rest of you, but it does absolutely nothing for me.

Obviously, the Thai expression you have here is quite strong, so you should choose expressions in English that do the feeling justice.

ดื่มด่ำธรรมชาติ He/she was enchanted/completely taken in by the scenery. The landscape swept her away.

ดื่มด่ำกับเสียงเพลง She was deeply touched by the music. She was overwhelmed by the music. She was completely absorbed by the music.

Let a native speaker continue here, I am a mere Swede.

yes exactly my problem!!

u know.. maybe we thais learn english in the wrong way for long

we want to be the perfect in grammars/spellings/essays/writings.. etc;

but when it comes to speaking and listening, we easily fail!!!!!!!

(ex; like in the oral test score shows how bad ur english exactly is!)

once, my professor said.... who cares about english if we speak shit! if we speak wrong, as long as it still makes sense or understandable... we rather learn to communicate than learn by memory like a robot!)

(ps. that's why sometimes mixing use between english and thai sounds even better to me, not becoz of ดัดจริต but เวลา mouth มันถึงใจกว่ากันเยอะ แฮ้ม )

I think ดื่มด่ำ can sometimes be translated as v. to be moved (by).

eg you could be moved by a beautiful piece of music.

ฟังดูทะเเม่งๆ means something seems not quite right, in this case, I think the writer means some of the replies are not quite hitting the nail on the head, in his\her opinion.

'moving' seems the right word here, as toster says, isn't ดื่มด่ำ usually used in reference to a story, film or book that moves us?

In English we wouldn't say nature or the scenery is moving; we're more likely to say it's impressive, awe inspiring, breathtaking, unforgettable, left a deep impression,etc. Can we use ดื่มด่ำ to refer to nature?
