Neeranam Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 My wife says some daft things sometimes - for example - when I was upstairs and my pudding was ready she screamed upstairs, "ai dteem yen laew" the ice cream is getting cold. I find it hysterical and reminds me of my grandmother who get rather confused. Does your wife/gf say daft things - any examples? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Tamson Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 My GF is picking up a rather nice Scottish accent to her English (matter of opinion of course) as well as some Scottish phrases ( which I hadn't realized I used that often). For example: That's awe right then! Nae bother! I'll be there the noo.. I've yet to get a Glasgow Kiss from her fortunately 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmyself Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Very rarely is anything such as the OP's example a result of being 'lost in translation'. It is because the person saying it, deep down, is daft. You find this all over the world so not Thai specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JLCrab Posted March 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2013 My non-English speaking TGF comes in in the morning and says a big "Good Morning!" and she comes in in the afternoon and says a big "Good Morning!" and comes in in the evening with a big "Good Morning!" I've been told I should correct her English but I say "Why be a kill-joy?" I just like that big grin of hers when she says it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you need to tell Non Thai speakers that "dtrong pai" means "straight on" for the full effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Almera Posted March 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Explaining to a Thai university graduate about the difference of speed of light and speed of sound when there was a thunder storm. I had hoped to teach her the trick of counting the time between the lightning and thunder to tell how far it was away. Unfortunately she wasn't aware of either. "See, due to the speed of light being much faster than the speed of sound, first you see it, then you hear it." "No, no, you wrong." "Er, no, I'm not." "Yes, you wrong. Like airplane in the sky, you hear, then you look and see. Hear first, then see." "Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, well.................. ummmmmm........ I like kitty. I like Doreamon." "Yayyyyyyy, I like kitty, I like Doraemon too." Thai university graduate. Edited March 23, 2013 by Almera 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerfish Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I once said to a Thai lady look at that beautiful full moon she looked at me and said "where?" True on returning back to the U. K. at the start of Autumn i met a Thai lady that had not been in the country all that long and whilst making polite conversation she asked. " why do you not take care of your trees ? they are all dying, i don't like your country very much ! " then started to cry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morakot Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I still don't understand why the OP does not appreciate: the effort of wife in making all that ice cream, making it faster than excepted and to top it all joyfully announces that it is already cold I would not complain, but maybe that's just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
