Dear TVeronica,

I also have PHAK NAM (ผักน้ำ) and SALAT NAM (สลัดน้ำ) listed as WATERCRESS.

Are these correct also?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.

For speaking you can say Phak-Nam or Salad-Nam,They are the same meaning.

Dear TVeronica,

I guess you mean that they are informal expressions. I am making a dictionary. Do you think that I should leave them out?

Perhaps I will include them, with '(informal)' indicated. What is your opinion?

Thanks for your help.

[TVeronica]

Salad- Nam is informal

in my opinion Phak- Nam or Phak -Salad -Nam are more formal
