Tongue twisters, ever tried some on your Thai partner?

Featured Replies

On the Thai side, the daughter of a former gf had me try and say 'who sells chicken eggs', in Thai of course. Good test of your tonal capabilities. smile.png

    I bet you're a barrel of laughs.

  • Mine keep saying that she's a peasant <deleted>***r and a peasant <deleted>***r son..... and now she got stuck on it... what have I done?

Oh how delightful a bloke that gets his jolly's by making fun of his partner by teasing her in a language that isn't her native tongue. What's the encore maybe you could trip her while she has her hands full.. what a hoot. How do you go when she tries you out on Thai tongue twisters? Because you would have to be fluent in Thai of course? so that your missus wouldn't possibly be able to make fun of your command of the Thai language. Unbelievable

My TGF gets endless amusement out of my Thai - she does an impersonation of my Thai accent and then cracks up with laughter. It's a two way game - but if you have the right TGF then both "squirrel" and the latest suggestion of "parallel" are both funny and sexy!

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood and if that woodchuck did chuck wood then how much wood did that woodchuck chuck

That is the standard English language and aptitude test for all immigrants entering Canada.

Try these:

Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran. My sister lives in the country. The soldier deserted his dessert in the desert.

Mrs Poggie Woggie had a rough cut punt not a punt cut rough but a rough cut punt. It was round astern and blunt at the front. Mrs Poggie Woggie had a rough cut punt.

Pay attention. Does she call you 'darling' or 'dackling'. A very subtle subtle difference in tone but I understand the latter refers to a pig's hindquarters.

since we first met I will not let my wife call me darling [to close to dackling- monkey bum]only terack will do.

my missers is from SURIN, so r's r not a problem.but fish is another matter.

It used to amuse me when sitting at a bar, and one of the ladies says to a passing Farang , " Hello Darling " and if no response would say " Hello Dukling " and laugh so much. When I asked what it meant she told me a Monkey's A** Ha Ha.

Whambam, not sure about your 'pheasant plucker,' I always heard it as: "I'm not a fig plucker, nor a fig plucker's son, but I'll pluck figs until the fig plucker comes"

Seems to be a few variations on that one.

But at least it is all a bit of fun.

Yeah, some of my Thai friends have tried to get me to learn more Thai.

My attempts have at times had them rolling about laughing, especially with some Thai words that sound similar but have sexual undertones or are parts of the sexual anatomy. They would not let me loose in a restaurant to order off some of the female staff.

Yes, it can be a two way thing and fun for both sides.

Maybe some cannot see the fun in life.

Try.

Six thick thistle sticks Or

She sells sea shells on the sea shore ,those shells that she sells are sea shells I'm sure.

- ask her to say "Squirrel". One of life's simple pleasures that one.

That's my given name when the bar girl asks..

If you think Thais do not have a sense of humour you are missing out fella.

Nothing wrong in laughing together, though I'm sure you can find away to make it seem that way..

In the car, I do this one with my inece and she seems to enjoy it… lsurring the ending cause it is too long to remember...

How much wood, could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood...

Just done this one with my good lady... I am still rolling on the floor ;-)

Once spent several days teaching a girl to say "Fred fried fried rice on Friday". She always pronounced the R's as L's, as would be expected.

On the third day she bounces in the door and says in perfect English "Fred fried fried rice on Friday".

I was astounded and said "hey, that's great - what did Fred fry on Friday?"

She answered "Flied lice".

Some good ones coming out that I had forgotten about.

Hard enough for some of us to say never mind those learning English.

"As we know they have difficulty with the letter R. The results have been hilarious...."

Apparently, going out of your way to humiliate someone makes you feel better about yourself. It shouldn't.

I asked the wife what she wanted to do to improve the house and I got roft radder?

Simply ask them to pronounce the name of the bestselling lemon-lime soda sold in green bottles or cans. It's almost unheard of that a Thai could pronounce three consonants in a row.

"Sa-pa-light" :D

We are all such bad people. Having fun at other people's expense. So insensitive!

If you're an American, try having a Russian say "moose and squirrel".

Now that's funny!

I have a great time having her say "I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit, upon a slitted sheet I sit"
