Re: Bangkok Field Report
Quick question coming up, dear friend.. why is it that the last time I told a taxi driver "khop khun mak khrup" (which I presume translates to "Thank you very much"), the driver looked at me like I was some kind of alien? Is this a legitimate phrase at all? The next few times I said thank you, I dropped the "mak" and their reactions were back to normal. They respond with a polite "khrup pom" which I assume means "same to you too".
I'll be back there by this time tomorrow but my Thai still sucks. |

"Krap pom" doesn't mean "same to u". Its "krap" but even more polite form... its like "yes, Sir!" (krap pom) instead of "yes" (krap). Its more localized to use "krap pom" and makes u blend in more but plz dun use it with every answer or else u will sound like an alien again! Interspace it during your conversation will make it sound more natural. OK my 2 satangs worth, hope tats helpful!

Re: Bangkok Field Report
Ya... tell me about it. Everytime before I head for LOS, i go and do some revision via cd, visit my thai joints and talk to the kopitiam thai stall auntie. Feeling so confident...only to get deflated the moment i hit the airport, cos I realised no bloody clown know a word that I am saying, except, maipenrai, sawatee khrup, khop khun khrap. Sian lah... dun think can ever pick it up.

Re: Bangkok Field Report
I just assumed "na" is the local equivalent for "la"! While girls hang "naka" behind every sentence, we're supposed to do the same using "na khrup".. isn't it? Please don't tell me I'm wrong.. I've been doing that for ages! Oh GOD.
Another phrase I've learnt through pure experience is "arai na..?" which to us is supposed to mean "What, huh?". I hear that a lot because I suck at Thai and everytime I say something wrong she would invariably go "arai na..?" and I'll go (with a sigh and a head-shake) "Mai pen rai" and end up conversing in English anyway. Another question.. what does "wa" mean in the context of a phrase? I hear people saying "something something wa.." all the time and don't know what it's supposed to represent. |

Bro Charmaine, use "kap pom" enuff already. No need say "kop kun mak kap" after it. It sounds weird. "na"... is to be extra polite especially you want people to do something for you. Like u want to remind your tilak to take her meals regularly u say something like... "dtong gin kaao na" "Arai na?" means "What" with a smile or else it will sound rude. Say "what lah!" out loud in an irritated way and u could maybe understand what I mean... thats how "arai" sounds to the Thais. "wa"... has no particular meaning (I think). Its used usually with "tae waa" (but), "prow waa" (because) and somemore I can't recall at the moment. I think they use it to make their conversation sound more polite. OK... tat concludes my Thai class for today
