bankha Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 bkk, If thats correct i have f****d up on alot of my thinking. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 bkk, If thats correct i have f****d up on alot of my thinking. Cheers Its what it means but it depends in what context and by who it is said and you relation to that person. If a total stranger says it is much more hash as if it is said playfully.

bkkmick Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 As Rob says, it could be used in a friendly way. Listen out for something that sounds like dol-air which has a similar but much less friendly meaning/usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debothai Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) there are 3 ways to say it....lob-luang is a polite way. go-hok is a direct way and doh-lae is an impolite way...Best never to use the workd doh-lae..:jap: all mean liar.

IanForbes Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 As already been said, it all depends on how it is said and in what context. For example... You are with a lovely gal and you say to her..."You are most beautiful girl in the world" and she replies to you with a shy smile "You are a liar". She isn't mad at you, and accepts your compliment, but says it isn't true. Body language, facial expressions and the eyes should tell you what they mean.

eyebee Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Dol-air, doh-lae, tolair (the same word but transliterated differently) roughly means the same as "bullsh*t" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems there but just don't use it out of your group in an unfriendly way. Among close friends not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems there but just don't use it out of your group in an unfriendly way. Among close friends not a problem. I've said it to my wife many times and she to me. It's okay in a jokey way, but like you say, to a stranger or a stranger to you........ not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any bad word can be okay amongst friends. I call my mates cun_ts all the time, and they are ! Do they think your a " Hii " too. I expect they do. Reminds me of a party in Brighton years ago. Having overindulged on the D+D front I passed out until the morning. Stumbling through BTN town centre the next morning little did I realise that someone had written cun_t in permament black marker on my forehead. Feeling the paranoia from last night's intake I did find it strange why everyone was looking at me and laughing. Trying to avoid peoples' stares I looked into a shop window where I saw what had happened. Got to laugh about it really. Still had my eyebrows though !!

Any bad word can be okay amongst friends. I call my mates cun_ts all the time, and they are ! this is like Thai slang word and from my understanding (from friends and family) it should really not be used at all, bcoz it is very rude and plus the user is thought to be very low class.. it is used by Thais among friends but even then it can be misread and fights can break out.. I'm told Farangs should never use this type of language becasue a) we lower ourselves in the eyes of the receiver and we dont know what is an "appropriate" time to use it..

Bagwan Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Body language, facial expressions and the eyes should tell you what they mean. I have given many a cop a flashing smile to accompany my homily to 'Va t'en. I haven't got a wai back but nobody has taken umbrage - yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMTCW,, (just my two cents worth) yet again someone is perpetuating the myth that " Hi-So " or " Me-So" ( how I hate this word ) Thais do not use coarse or vulgar language. Maybe not in public where everyone has to appear " riaproi ' . can't remember too many fights breaking out over its use also. " fuc_k your mother " for sure but not for callimg someone a bullshitter.
