Translation For Mother, Father, Brother, Sister....

[mnmn]

Hi,

 

I already have some thai script tattoo'd on my arm but need a translation for the following:

 

FATHER MOTHER BROTHER SISTER

 

I have tried a couple of websites but they seem to come up with slightly different translations and meanings.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Many thanks!!

พ่อ Father

แม่ Mother

 

These are the General terms

 

The problem with Brother and Sister is that they don't have an equivalent in Thai. They refer to older or younger brother and sisters

 

พี่ชาย Older brother

 

น้องชาย Younger brother

 

 

พี่สาว Older sister

 

 

น้องสาว Younger sister

 

พี่น้อง is the general term for "brothers and sisters" and would usually include yourself. Ie if you have 1 brother and 1 sister and somebody asked you how many brothers and sisters you have. The answer will be 3

Someone asked the exact same question there last week.

What are the odds of that, right? ;-)
