Best online translation service I've found so far.

[meadish_sweetball]

mia noi เมีย น้อย (not "mai noi" ไม่น้อย ) = minor wife, second wife

mai cow chai ไม่ เข้าใจ = (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) do(es) not understand

A better transliteration of the second is "mai kaojai".

It is not the same soft "ch" as in "church", the sound is closer to the "j" in "jet".

You can look it up at the address BoonMee suggested, and you can also ask in the Thaivisa language forum.
