Deserted Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajaan Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I think for Q2 we need a translation into English first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserted Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 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' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard W Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 My attempts would be ขี้โมโห for the temperament 'stroppy' and โมโห for 'in a strop'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somsrisonphimai Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 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 Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kee moh hoh = emotional unstable Jai ron = impatient Jai noi = emotional unstable Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptHaddock Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 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.
