A new one for me today, mao moyi, meaning to gossip, how to spell it?

นี้หรือเปล่าครับ?

"เม้าท์มอย หมายถึง การพูดคุยกันไปเรื่อย ไม่ค่อยมีสาระ พูดจาเรื่อยเปื่อย พูดบ่น เพ้อ พูดด่าหรือนินทาคนอื่น"

เม้าธ์มอย maomoi

Thanks lads, need to make sure the tones are correct, we all know about the "moi" jokes.

A knew one for me a while back was,เมาสี, meaning a builder who was high on paint fumes

เม้าธ์มอย

The 4th letter is NOT pronounced, since it has that notation about it....

when you have the เ า it will be "ow" The ม้ is a nasal M and the notation means high tone for this low consonant.

then มอย which is the nasal M again and อย for "oi" but makes, i think, the word a middle tone.

so high tone then middle tone, but, again i think, you might hear it all a mid tone depending on where you are. if the second word was high tone, i would think you might hear the high tone more..

my 2 cents
