Thai Tea La Nid - EP.2 - Thai People Like to Shorten Words?! 

Hello guys! Welcome back to the episode 2 of Thai Tea La Nid Podcast.

Today, we're going to talk about how Thai people really speak in daily life. 

Well, have you ever had a problem understanding Thai people speak? 

Hmm, it just doesn't sound like what you have learned from the textbook, right? 

I think one of the reasons might be because we always shorten words and we always skip the subject. 

OK, for example, how to ask what are you doing in Thai? 

From the textbook, you might say “kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”. I'll make it more natural. “kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”. 

Which is too formal and kind of too long because that's like six words or eight syllables. 

Okay, so let's start by skipping the subject first. 

From “kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”, we can say “gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”.

Ok now, let's shorten the words. You can say “tam à-rai yòo ká” or “tam rai ká”. 

That's the shortest version. 

Ok, let's practice again from like the full version to the shortest version, ok? 

“kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká” 

“gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká” 

“tam à-rai yòo ká”, and 

“tam rai ká”. 

Ok, so now you can understand more Thai and I hope you enjoyed this episode of Thai Tea La Nid. 

See you again next time. Bye bye.

It's been a while since I posted something. Happy 2023! 

I recently watched The Glory and am currently watching My Name on Netflix. They are similar because both of the lead characters are seeking revenge. 

It got me thinking.

Since two wrongs don't make a right, should we always be the bigger person and show mercy?

To forgive and forget?
To forgive but never forget?

Or

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Is there a limit to what we can put up with as humans? What do we do if someone crosses that line?

It was fascinating and I am enjoying My Name so far. I will watch the final episode tonight and post my thoughts after that. 

(A little disclaimer: they are both disturbing so do not watch either of them if the nature of the show is something you are sensitive to.)

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

今日の天気は曇り。
今の気温は25℃。
みなさんが住んでいるところは晴れですか？雨ですか？

さて、今日は、オノマトペ、について。

みなさん、オノマトペ、という言葉を聞いたことがありますか？

もしかしたらはじめて聞くかもしれないですね。　

では、日本語で、

ざーざーとか、ポタポタとか、聞いたことがありますか？
それがオノマトペです。

オノマトペとは、
物からでる音や、気持ちなどの音がないものを文字で表したもののことをいいます。

たとえば、

ブーブー
ドキドキ
ガチャン
チリーン
ドカン

ばらばら
めろめろ
じろじろ
ふらふら

こういう言葉、聞いたことありますか？

たとえば、見る、を表現する時、英語では、
see,watch,lookなどがあり、いろいろな表現ができます。
ですが、日本語では、見る、という言葉しかないので、その前に、キョロキョロ見るとか、ジッと見るなど、オノマトペを使って表現します。


ちなみに、「onomatopēe（オノマトペ）」はフランス語だそうです。

オノマトペを上手に使うと、日本語がぐんぐんと話しやすくなるかもしれませんね。

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
