Is it ok for your girlfriend to call you farang to her friends?

[Ghostnigel]

What was the sentence she used. Without that no one can give you a definitive answer.

I can answer, if my gf called me 'the farang' ( she wouldnt do,thats why she's my gf) she would be EX gf...i don't care what context it was said...end of. She has a name, and I have a name, if they havent got the respect to use it, then i don't respect them.

Depends on whether Farang was used as an adjective or noun as has been discussed many times in this thread. Rather than repeat the many examples I would suggest you look above.

No thank you....i do know the difference thanks....don't need your advice on the thai language.

From another poster (not my advice). Nouns

1. I hate farangs.

2. Why are farangs in Thailand so fat?

3. Do farangs whinge as much in their own countries as they do here in Thailand?

Adjectives

1. Do you like farang food?

2. What percentage of Thai girls has a farang boyfriend?

3. I had a farang teacher when I learned English at school.

Used as an adjective, the word is harmless. It's also generally innocuous when used as a noun.

The quicker people understand and not just dismiss people as sensitive or whatever and not just be nasty the quicker a wrongs righted.

Well according to a Thai collegue of mine he answered the question this way very simply and diplomatically

" Thai people who respect you will not use the word " farang" when referring to you as it infers disrepecting that person and often meant as an insult "

And just for clarity seeing as TV's finest will start questioning " credentials" the guy completed a masters degree in Engineering the UK

In which case it is a good example of a wasted degree (or at least irrelevant in the context of this topic).

Who said/where does it say that "Farang" is disrespectful. Nonsense! that is an opinion (as valid, I accept, as the opinion that says it isn't).

If you think a masters degree in anything adds credibility to an opinion on the useage by Thais of the word Farang, I would think again.

That is really strange.

Ask your friend if any of those are disrespectful.

Who am i to believe ?

A trusted Thai collegue who as answered the OP'a question and other aspects of this "farang" thing honestly

Or a gang of know it all "farangs" who are trying to use English grammar to rationalise the usage of a Thai word

Not a Engineer. . A Thai engineer no less who i suspect has a better grasp of Thai, and understands the nuances and inferrences of the Thai language far far better than you ever will

I mentioned his education mearly to preempt the predictable comments from TV finest cultural experts that i shouldnt listen to an uneducated rice farmer or similar comments which would have been posted

Tough choice,

At the end the day you belive what ever you want to belive if it makes you sleep at night

Actually, in the context of this thread, I would say that you were better off listening to an uneducated rice farmer (or a well-trodden bar girl) as they are the ones who are a) likely to use the term and understand whether they were being disrespectful or not.

If your engineer friend was to refer to 'the Farang' then Mummy and Daddy wasted their money sending him to a UK university.
