Matej Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Is it possible to translate 'strong as <deleted>' to Thai language? Also it would be great if it's vulgar just a little bit, I want to have it on T-shirt ...

jspill Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) โคตร 'koht' is very/excessively, and it's a little bit vulgar / young person's cool slang word - normally in polite conversation people would use จัง 'jang' or มาก 'maak' or some other words instead of that Like the website 'kodhit' for cool hit stuff Then since it starts with 'k' it'd go nicely before แข็งแรง 'keng reng' for 'strong', bit of alliteration So โคตรแข็งแรง 'koht keng reng' perhaps Not sure why it's giving me 'lineage' there but that's pretty cool too There's a hashtag Other than that you'd have to put the swear word 'sat' (animal) or 'hia' as a suffix after 'strong', and I probably wouldn't want to put that on a t-shirt. I'd go with 'koht' prefix. Googling it, it seems to work. It's a Vine and Twitter hashtag and I found it in the description for a weight belt.

nikmar Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Keng leng chip hai. I could be showing my ignorance here but i think "chip hai" is a mildly strong word. sort of like "bloody strong" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jspill Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) ^ That's another good one. It's like 'damn' or 'bloody', after the noun as nikmar says. Edited October 23, 2015 by jspill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be showing my ignorance here but i think "chip hai" is a mildly strong word. sort of like "bloody strong" This is too much ... It's supposed to be for gym environment not for thangan population after sunset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamukloy Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 A simple one to add on from the others.. gaeng muk-kwar kee stronger than shlt Thais probably wouldnt get it though as, strangely enough, i dont think they usually associate good things with shlt, They would most probably think you are a bit of a thai wannabe wakker Come to think of it, people from all nations would probably think the same.
