Distinction

[Aforek]

Hello

I would like to say to my thai girlfriend ( in thai of course ) that she has distinction ( the exact term in french , my tongue langage, is " tu as de la classe" ) ; how do you say it in thai and, by the way, how do you say in english ( you have distinction, you are a distinguished person ? )

you can write it in thai, i can read it

thank you for your help

English: You're a classy person. Or, you have class.

Thai: คุณเป็นคนมีศักดิ์ศรี

I suggest you do not even think of saying anything like this to a Thai girl - or any girl for that matter.

It’s so obviously false - and so embarrassingly pathetic and cringing.

ประจบประแจง as a Thai might say.

I suppose it depends on the motives of the OP. I mean after all, maybe he's just trying to get his leg over.

I say let it roll and let the girl decide the outcome. Although, i have to agree if i tried something like that where i come from, i can just imagine the likely response.

Let us know how you get on Molamka.

If that is what you want to say, then there is an appropriate noun. From the Royal Institute Dictionary: สุภาพสตรีน.

"หญิงที่มีกิริยาวาจาเรียบร้อย รู้กาลเทศะและมีคุณธรรม เช่น ท่าทางเธอเรียบร้อยสมเป็นสุภาพสตรี.

'A woman of proper manners who is aware of the proper time and place and is a person of virtue. For example, "Her bearing and demeanor are appropriate for a lady." '

A lady, a gentlewoman. And, I would say, "a lady of distinction".

What do you think?

I like this," lady of distinction ", it's exactly what I mean .

" tu as de la classe"

It sounds classier and more romantic in French
