Recommended Posts

Hi there this is my first post so go easy on me.

I just wondered is there a site that can help me with the thai language in terms of saying words described say Thank you = Kob Khun Krap i just want to put a sentence in and if possible get a reply in the western style letters and not in the thai wrinting this being due to the lady i am in touch with not being that great at english and not having access to the internet yet so its only by mobile phone .

Thanks in advance and again please go easy on me.

This site is pretty good. Those instant online translation engines can't be relied upon for anything important though. I think it does Thai script to English transliteration but I've never used it for that purpose myself.

It's intended to say

"I want us to be like before"

She says "I wan/need us to be the same first"

 

English: I want us to be like before

Engwish : I am broke

 

 

There are two primary choices in life;

to accept conditions as they exist,

or accept the responsibility for changing them.

She left out a word มา maa. She should have written ฉันต้องการให้เราเป็นเหมือนมาก่อน Then it would have meant what she wanted it to mean.

This is my translation using google and thai-language after place "before" by itself in google then corrected it to this

ฉันต้องการให้เราเป็นเหมือนก่อนที่

It seems to make sense but I and the girl are week in each others languages.I sms her in english and thai.

Well, considering it's gone through two translation engines I think it's pretty good. Often the results are worse than that after just going through one engine. Maybe they're improving? still wouldn't gamble my love life on them though! They shpuold have put that missing word in though and the word at the end isn't necessary either.

How long have you studied the language?I looks tough to learn especially when not there to learn it.I'd like to try Rosetta stone or something to learn.

Well I first studied Thai in 1988. I only studied it for about 2 years actually but I've lived in LOS and had plenty of practise since then. The hardest part of learning is just getting used to and learning the tones IMO. The grammar is actually pretty simple, no plurals, no tenses etc. I learned via tapes and books but it all depends upon your personality. Some people prefer lessons. You do need feedback from a Thai so if you use tapes or CD's/MP3's get a Thai to go over it with you once a week.

I wouldn't flatter myself by believing that! Apparently the message was from one of those online translators which explains the error.
