me

Thai translation: ¼Á (àͧ) ©Ñ¹ (àͧ) ´Ô©Ñ¹ (àͧ)

English to Thai translations [Non-PRO]
English term or phrase: me
me...a person or self
adam s.
Thai translation:¼Á (àͧ) ©Ñ¹ (àͧ) ´Ô©Ñ¹ (àͧ)
Explanation:
In case you can't read Thai on your computer, the above is pronounced more or less "phom (eng)", "chan (eng)", "dichan (eng)"

Phom means "I, me" in the masculine gender, Dichan has the same meaning in the feminine gender and Chan can be used by both males and females but is an intimate form that you can't just use with everybody. "Eng" means more or less "self" and strengthens the pronoun as in "myself"

This "ph" is not an "f."


Explanation:
D'Alessandro is right, of course, but for speakers of English:

The "ph" is NOT pronounced like "f" but like a "p" with a little air going through it.
The "o" is pronounced as in "go," but of short duration. The "i" in dichan is like the "e" in "me," but of very short duration, and the "a" is as in "father," but of short duration.

The same words serve for both "I" and "me."

As D'Allessandro implies, there are numerous forms of "me," depending on the speaker/hearer combination. Meditators might encounter "atama" or "adtama," (literally, the soul-less self) used as "I/me" by Buddhist monks.
