peer agreement (net): +1| hello, goodbye, got the time, thank you, please got directions, i understand สวัสดี สวัสดี มี Explanation: สวัสดี สวัสดี มีเวลา ขอบคุณ เข้าใจ are not usually uttered as such as it would be too abrupt or "ฮ่วน" as they say in Thai. -- It very much depands on your sex, the register or politeness you desire to express when uttering each term. Never heard "Please Got direction" before. Could it have been a "typo"? Could you enlighten me as to where, how, or why you're going to use them -- and what you're going to use them on as well perhaps? It's difficult for anyone to translate something which he or she does not understand in the first place, no matter how much sincere is the desire to help. |

peer agreement (net): +1| hello, goodbye, got the time, thank you, please got directions, i understand ÊÇÑÊ´Õ ä»¡è͹¹Ð... Explanation: It is quite difficult to translate word by word like this. Thai language has special characteristic. Different audience, place, time, sub-culture reflect different WORDs they use. For example, there may be more than five ways to express the word "hello" in Thai. To be more specific, I would suggest asker to give more context clue. A sentence may be more helpful than a word. Anyhow, this is the best translation I can make for your questions: hello: ÊÇÑÊ´Õ sa-wad-dee goodbye: ÅÒ¡è͹ / 仡è͹¹Ð la-gone / pai-gone-na The first one sounds like speaker will be gone for good, the latter one is to persons at the same level of seniority. got the time: ÁÕàÇÅÒ mee-way-la thank you: ¢Íº¤Ø³ / ¢Íºã¨ khob-khun please got directions: ??? not enough clue for the word "direction" I understand: ¼Áà¢éÒ㨠phom-kao-jai |
