Make sure you use the 'N' word.

Recommended Posts

When speaking Thai make sure you pronounce the 'N' when saying words like pooying (girl) pronouncing the G as well as the N here.

To hear: yinn.

To see: hen. Drag the N out when your saying the word, English speakers tend to cut the ending word out.

 

 

Me no daft, me no silly, me wear condom on my Willy.

I may be reading you wrong but I think you are a little off the mark here.

Hen (to see). You should emphasize the E.

Pooying. Sounds like ring. Some UK English speakers pronounce the G as a hard G on the end of ring but this would not be correct.

Thais tend to always stress the last syllable, also in English: compuTER, MisTER, ...

I guess you mean like the (correct) pronunciation of the word “finger”.

You are correct in saying it doesn't sound like English, but beyond that I can't agree with you, no offense.

Well played. Maybe the perceived long n or ng sound is actually the by-product of a correctly formed rising tone?

They do pronounce the N clearly but its more the preceding vowel which is dragged out

e.g Hen (I see)  sounds like Hehhhn

or Dai yin (I can hear) sounds like Die yeeeen

But this dragging out doesn't always happen.  For example, if these words are followed immediately by another word, then its too cumbersome to drag it out, so it gets shortened to normal length.

e.g Dai yin mai ?  (Can you hear ?). just sounds like "Die yeen my", and not "die yeeeen my"

Thats the way I hear it anyway.
