Thainglish

[wannabethere]

I've been to Thailand at least 10 times. After the first two or three times I made an effort to learn Thai, even bought one of those 'teach yourself' kits, but after a couple more visits I realised the Thais will always speak better English than I do Thai. After a while you start to understand their interpretation of English, for example 'Same, Same'. What are you favorite Thainglish phrases?

 

I'll start

 

50/50 - I'm not sure about that

100 percent - I'm positive

Boom boom - sex

Smoke - blow job

Lady sperm - pussy juice

Ting tong - crazy

Hey buddy, find a girl, and learn gradually to her it's natural and relatively easy. When visiting the bars slowly learn the individual words and listen to the pronunciation girls. To a certain stage and degree of knowledge it is reliable. If you want to talk very well pay somehow language course and etc..

Their interpretation of English is so cute, yet so logical when you think about it. My favourite one is "boxing"

Took me a few minutes to get that one. "boxing" = "arguing" (fighting)

Ka-put - Broken, finished and/or worn out.

 

I always laugh at this one...where did they learn this word?

[papadoc]

From German kaputt, though more often rendered kaput in English; via Yiddish קאַפּוט (kaput, “lost, dead”). The same word is also borrowed by Afrikaans, ...

 

 

Your right : finished, dead, worn out etc.
