Funniest Falangisms - Mangled Thai

'watdee!

What is your funniest falangism? I am compiling those that are both humorous and instructive.

Here's one of mine (true story) to start it off ...

I return home to greet my lovely Thai wife who has just finished cooking dinner:

Wife: "paw gin-khao-na" (paw, come and eat)

Husband (wrong tone): "taut-rong-taow-gawn" (I'll fry my shoes first)

[taut can mean "remove" or "fry" depending on tone]

We laugh long time.

Please contribute to this list. Those of us learning to speak Thai mangle the language all the time. If your GF/wife giggles when you say it, it might be worth sharing.

If I ever publish these (I hope to in a year or two) I'll make sure all contributors get credits and a copy!

Chok-dee-na!
