could somebody explain ตั่งหาก

[meadish_sweetball]

Easy explanation: 'instead' or 'contrary to what you believe/think' (contradicting the speaker's assumption).

Standard written form: ต่างหาก

(BTW, it is very, very weird to a farang that Thais get upset AFTER you have admitted to a mistake... in most Western cultures that is considered mature and the right thing to do. Makes you start to understand why Thai politicians never seem to accept responsibility for anything, even when they are caught with the hand firmly jammed down the cookie jar. Nobody wants to be subject to flying/frying pans. )

ไม่ได้ตั้งใจmai dai dtâng jai

I use this a lot to the wife.

Literaly it means it wasn't intended, but my understading of it means it wasn't my fault.
