Do you have any favourite Thai words?

One of mine is บุคลิกฦาพ (buk ka li ga paaap), not sure why, I just like the sound. Another onomatopaeic word is "ngut ngit". I like all the "ngaw ngu" words.

This is one I like - เงง , which is a new word meaning bored and confused - comes from เส๊งand งง I suspect.

I also like the word "teo" as in "bpai teo", as there is a souind of fun in the way it is said.

'cheun jai' when drinking a refeshing glass of water on a hot day, or "long jai" when taking a leak.

Do you have any favourites?

I like the sound of word for Firefly

หิ่งห้อย Hing Haawy - It just sounds like I imagined Thai should sound like.

หงุดหงิด -ngut ngit- irritable mood -as you say also has a great sound, I've always loved this

บุคลิกฦาพ - you'll have to help me here, what's it mean?

I know งง ? never heard เงง Before

For onomat.... words that sound like what they are, I like โขยกเขยก - to hobble or walk with a limp.

บุคลิกฦาพ - individuality. I like it too.

ฟังแล้วเงง - I listened to what you've said but I've got absolutely no idea what you have been saying.

I find the hardest word, or the word with the most meanings is ' Mai mee'

it means;

We don't have it

We have it

I don't know if we have it

We have it but I don't know where it is

Whats that

We have it but I can't be bothered to look for it.

Sold out

I think I know what you mean, but I'm not sure

I don't know what you mean

My friend knows but she's not here.

My friend knows but she's eating.
