Daytrader99 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Many thanks for the replies guys, really helpful. (1) was followed up with the reply " แม่น " which I can manage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saakura Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 1 you want a farang husband? 2 where you going? are you gonna break up? (not clear with who) 3 Im in thailand. (not too sure here) ive moved, not left (thailand) I may be wrong but disagree with your translation of No.3 which in my opinion reads as "I am still in the country (does not specify Thailand) and cannot shift anywhere.

Daytrader99 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 That would make more sense given the context actually (due to some debt to the bank apparently she is unable to travel abroad. I wasnt aware banks could place this restriction on people in Thailand). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptimusThai Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Number 1 is said in a very rude way. Not really, that is colloquial Isan speech, your daily banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimusThai Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) To make the last sentence perfectly clear: อยู่ในประเทศแหละ i'm in the country (แหละi is just an emphatic particle) ยาย grandmom (might refer to the speaker, or to any female third person) wrong spelling possible too. ไม่ได้ไปไหนหรอก haven't moved anywhere Inability to move would be expressed if the sentence went like "ไปไหนไม่ได้" Hope that settles it Edited May 19, 2016 by OptimusThai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptimusThai Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 ย้ายไม่ได้ would be definitely - cannot move, but then ไปไหน switches the meaning yet another time. Otherwise the whole sentence becomes totally unnatural grammar-wise, and no Thai person would say something like that. There are plenty expressions in Thai, which being divided in the wrong way might make the translation a nightmare. Lack of punctuation also helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Number 1 is said in a very rude way. Not really, that is colloquial Isan speech, your daily banter. The word ' si ' is used in Laos (and Isaan?) to create the future tense in the same way as จะ (จะ is also used in Laos). The word ' si ' is also spoken with a different tone as a vulgar slang expression for the sex act. Hence the rude misinterpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word ' si ' is also spoken with a different tone as a vulgar slang expression for the sex act. Hence the rude misinterpretation. There is nothing rude about that first line in the OP. Also, the particle in Lao that's the equivalent of Thai จะ is usually spelled ซิ, not สิ (though this is not consistent). However, the slang word for sex in Lao is สี่ in Thai (low tone; in Lao, the number "4" is said with a mid tone), with a long vowel, not a short one.

I was meaning the word they use for husband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric67 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 ผัว in central Thai is the informal word for husband and I guess it could sound rude depending on when/where it's used. The first sentence isn't central Thai though, it's Isan/Lao. There it's the normal word for husband, so like I said before: quite harmless...

applebus Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 1. สิเอาผัว ฝรั่งบ้อ2. Someone asks: จะไปไหนจะทิ้งกันแล้วหรือ The reply is: อยู่ในประเทศแหละยายไม่ได้ไปไหนหรอก I am Thai. and I don't understand the first sentence lol. it is not a normal Thai language we talk everyday. You may hear this kind of language when you go to north eastern part of Thailand. Second one is " where are you going, wanna break up with me?" Last one is " I wont go anywhere. I will stay in my country" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytrader99 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Cheers applebus. (2) was said by a female so maybe she means friendship then as they are not in a relationship! (1) was said by a young guy from isaan and seems very slangy/colloquial going off the other replies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
