Hello troops

Featured Replies

would anyone be kind enough to let me have the Thai script for the following - "Ting Tong Stevie". No quotations or full stop.

Rather then start a bun fight, a PM would be fine.

Thanks and hang loose.

ติงต๊อง สตีวี่

and don't be surprised that no Thai can really pronounce "Stevie".

"st" not possible for Thais to write/speak following the rules.

You will hear something like "Sativie" (short a).

Thanks khunbenq, you are totally right, phonetically speaking in the Thai pronouncement of Steve.

I have also experienced some Thai words that I simply cannot adapt my mouth to pronounce, physically with my mouth.

I have noticed that there is a tattoo script forum , hopefully amid can move this thread.

Thanks.

ติงต๊อง สตีวี่

I think there's a missing tone mark on the first syllable.

Also, TINGTONG being an adjective, to be grammatically correct should go after the noun, so this really should read สตีวี่ติ๊งต๊อง. (No space between words in Thai.)

Finally, please be aware that TINGTONG is, according to the dictionary "คำแสลง" - in translation, an unwholesome word, i.e. one not to be used in polite conversation.

Clueless.

Gratuitously offensive.

ต๊อง, ต๊อง ๆ ก. ไม่ค่อยเต็มเต็ง เช่น อาจารย์คนนี้ออกจะต๊อง ใส่สูท สะพาย
ย่าม สวมรองเท้าแตะมาสอนหนังสือ. พูดเต็ม ๆ ว่า ติงต๊อง.

ติงต๊อง ก. ไม่ค่อยเต็มเต็ง เช่น หมอนี่สงสัยจะติงต๊อง ชอบพูดคนเดียว
บ่อย ๆ. พูดย่อ ๆ ว่า ต๊อง.
