What does this mean? คอนเฟิมคับ

[tgeezer]

It probably means what it sounds like 'confirm'.

That sounds correct, thank you!

Post #2 makes sense.

Another case of an English word transcribed (with a polite "kap" added).

 

konferm káp ("er" standing for umlaut-o, no r spoken)

 

An alternate transcript for confirm seems to be:

 

คอนเฟิร์ม (silent "r" written)

Thanks for the hint. Adding the ร์ made it possible for me to find it in Longdo: Confirm. Now what can คอนเฟิมครับ mean, isn't the affirmative answer to a question just ครับ?

This part "คับ" was also confusing for me, as I normally see it as "ครับ", and the fact that I think one time I saw it, it was written by a female, which adds to the confusion.

I hate these words because it always takes me way too long to figure out that I am reading a transliterated word from English which all makes me feel quite stupid.

Often used by females to young Thai boys.

well, if they included the little silencing diacritic, of course, then you can guess to sound it out  as an English word.  I guess if you are asking  "is my hotel booked", they might answer  "confirm" instead of just  krap
