I can type in Thai on this keyborad so,

Q1 Is motivation raeng juung jai?

The context is I do not have the motivation to exercise today?

Q2 What's the closest word to stroppy or to get in a strop?

tx

Should read can't

แรงจูงใจ motivation

stroppy- not a clue.

I think for Q2 we need a translation into English first?

Q2 Yeah its tricky. It reads she gets in a mood often. I wanted to find something other than arom sia (sorry can't type Thai). Since the subject is female I thought 'stroppy' might work but anything along those lines would be fine other than 'arom sia'

My attempts would be ขี้โมโห for the temperament 'stroppy' and โมโห for 'in a strop'.

You mean she is moody, grouchy, grumpy, emotional, impatient?

Kee bon can be translated to moody, grouchy, picky or grumpy.

Kee moh hoh = emotional unstable

Jai ron = impatient

Jai noi = emotional unstable

Hi, I was trying to impress my tutor more than anything. In English we would only use the adjective 'stroppy' for women, grumpy we tend to use for men more.

I was hoping to find a word in Thai that is only used for women, and meaning gets in a bad mood easily and is difficult to deal with.

Somebody posted a learning Thai clip recently which introduced me to two words:

งอน ngon peevish, petulant

ง้อ ngo to reconcile, conciliate

So when your girlfriend gets into a mood งอน you can make up to her ง้อ by taking her out for a nice meal.

Sorry no time to find the clip but it was posted about a month ago.

งอน ngon peevish, petulant

Interesting word, better than what I had, thanks. Anyone dare to place it in a sentence?

Just Google it - you'll see loads of example sentences.

If I understand "stroppy" correctly it would differ from "grumpy" in that, while both indicate ill-temper, the "grumpy" person is unlikely to engage in conflict (unless further provoked) while the "stroppy" or "bitchy" person is.
