今天是4月3日，星期六，天气晴
今天，女儿从学校放学回家，说只有一项（xiang4, measure word) 作业，就是画画，画一张画，我的梦想(meng4xiang3, wishful thinking)。画完后，她把画给我，妈妈请你拍照(pai1zhao4, take photo)，然后发(fa1, to send to)给老师吧。她很开心, 看起来很喜欢那张画。我想她可能画了医生，因为她一直说长大以后要做一个医生。结果一看，根本不是医生，而是一片大海。
海上有一只美人鱼。公主的身体，鱼的尾巴，颜色很漂亮。海边还有一座小岛，岛上有一棵大树，海里画了不少的鱼，各种各样的。海底呢，还有一个箱子，里面有宝石（bao3shi1, precious stone）。
我觉得很奇怪，不知道她画了什么梦想。我问她说：老师说要把自己的梦想画下来，从这幅画里，我看不出你的梦想呀？然后，她指着(zhi3 zhe, to point to)那只小小的美人鱼说：这就是我的梦想。
“什么？你的梦想是做一只美人鱼吗？”我有点惊讶呀：“为什么呀？”
女儿看着我说：“因为美人鱼不用每天洗头和洗澡呀！”
可是你要怎么和老师说呢？这可是作业！
我哭笑不得(ku1 xiao4 bu4 de, find sth. both funny and annoying)，你就这么不喜欢洗头和洗澡呀？但是你的想法真的是好可爱！好吧，真的是我自己亲生的，好像我小时候也不喜欢刷牙和洗脸。
那么，你小时候有没有什么特别可爱的事情呢？

ไทยทีละนิด Thai Tea La Nid - EP.3 - Have You Eaten Yet? 

Hi everyone! Welcome back to Thai- T La Nid (ไทยทีละนิด) Podcast. This is the episode 3 with me, Om-am.

In Thailand, after saying “สวัสดีครับ/สวัสดีค่ะ”, we often greet each other by asking “กินข้าวหรือยัง” or “กินข้าวรึยังคะ” (รึยัง or หรือยัง have the same meaning) “กินข้าวหรือยัง” means “Have you eaten yet?” 

In Thailand, especially in the past, we normally eat rice. That’s why we say “กินข้าว” when we have a meal even we might eat something else. Haha.

And you can reply back by saying “คุณกินแล้วค่ะ” or “เรียบร้อยแล้วค่ะ” if you have already eaten. And “ยังไม่ได้กินค่ะ” or “ยังเลยค่ะ” if you haven’t eaten anything. 

Now, let’s take a looks at some more phrases about this topic:

ข้าวเช้า - breakfast
ข้าวกลางวัน - lunch
ข้าวเย็น - dinner

So “คุณกินข้าวหรือยังคะ”?

If you want to learn more Thai and have fun speaking Thai, feel free to message me. And don’t forget to follow me for some more tips. 😊

Bye-Bye. Sa wat dee ka.
