L6 去饭馆吃饭[qù fànguǎn chī fàn]～Go for a meal in a restaurant

Hi everyone!! It’s Timpika and you’re listening to Thai T la nid podcast EP 5!! As you know it’s the hottest time of the year in Thailand right now. It’s burning hot and many times, I have to say “ร้อนมากกกกกก แบบก.ไก่ล้านตัว” (slang).

Alright, some of you might know “ร้อนมาก”  already ร้อน means hot and มาก means very so ร้อนมาก means very hot.

And when you want to emphasize an adjective or adverb even more you can pronounce the word “มาก” longer (The longer the more emphasis). For example ร้อนมากกกกกกกก. Just like that.

But that’s not enough. When it’s a very very great degree. We can add the expression “ก.ไก่ล้านตัว” "gor-gài láan dtuua" or with a million of “ก”.

ก.ไก่ is the letter “ก” which is the final consonant of the word “มาก”
ล้าน = million 
ตัว = the classifier for letters, consonants, vowels, numbers, characters 

So when we say ร้อนมากกกกกก แบบ ก.ไก่ล้านตัว, it means the weather is sooooooo hottttttt! With a million of “t”

More examples on using ก.ไก่ล้านตัว
1. สงกรานต์ที่เมืองไทยสนุกมากกกกกกกก แบบก.ไก่ ล้านตัว
2.  ส้มตำร้านนี้อร่อยมากกกกกก แบบก.ไก่ล้านตัว

Well, I hope you enjoy this episode of Thai T la nid podcast. Let me know and share the link to your friends who are learning Thai if you find this is helpful. Thank you so much. See you in the next episode. Bye-bye 😊

大扫除

In this story, a deer named Macey plans a secret party with her sister. But what happens when two big cats try to stop her? This is Part 3 of 5.  

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Two huge, strong and dirty cats appear out of nowhere: one proud lion and one sneaky cheetah. They creep forward, saliva dripping from the sides of their mouths. 

The lion says, “Little deer, I don’t usually eat noodles, but I might have to today.” 

The cheetah laughs and laughs and laughs. She has never heard anything so funny in her entire life. 

Macey looks confused, but then notices she has noodles stuck on her horns. She feels embarrassed and angry at the same time. 

“If you must know, there were no chopsticks…” says Macey. 

The cheetah says, still laughing, “Did you get it, little dear? We don’t eat noodles; we’re carnivores… but you have noodles on your head and we’re going to eat you.” 

The lion frowns and looks at the cheetah. “Yes, thank you, Cheetah... That was my point…” 

Macey confidently steps forward and prepares to fight. She looks like a kung-fu master. She says, “I’m not scared of you. You will never eat me… or my noodles!” 

Macey then jumps high into the air and does a flying kick! 

Hiiiiiyyyaaaaaa! 

Macey kicks the lion right in his big face. Saliva explodes from his mouth. The lion hits the floor HARD. The cheetah is so scared that she crouches down and starts purring. The cheetah doesn’t want to get hurt. 

The lion is very weak. He gets up and tries to speak, but he’s in so much pain. He says, “ahh…I… my face… you’re so… powerful… Please don’t hurt me anymore…” 

Macey has fire in her eyes. She is tired of big cats trying to eat her. 

“You carnivores think you’re so strong,” says Macey, looking like she will crush them. “But you’re not! Now get out of here!” 

The two cats, not so big anymore, run away. 

With the setting sun behind her, Macey is standing strong, looking like a hero.
