You may already know that that word "inform" means to tell someone something. To give information to someone. For instance, "thanks for informing me about the change of venue". What you might not know is that it can also be used to mean "influence something" as in "my work is informed by years of experience" Or maybe "the decisions that we make are always informed by our company culture. So what do you think, have you ever heard this usage?

Мне нравится! I like/dislike in Russian.

Salve , salve, e ben tornati sul mio canale!!

Oggi vi parlerò di un argomento molto in voga.
Con l’arrivo dell’estate, è arrivato anche mio mio piatto preferito: prosciutto crudo e melone.

Ma perché va così di moda mangiarli?
I salumi sono un alimento consumato tutto l’anno, ma sicuramente per le sue caratteristiche di praticità e di freschezza sono molto adatti anche al consumo in estate.  L’abbinamento estivo per eccellenza, il più conosciuto in assoluto è prosciutto crudo e melone, che, non appena sopraggiunge il caldo, fa capolino sulle tavole come antipasto e in molti casi come piatto unico, fornendo vitamine, sali minerali, proteine, acqua e poche calorie, oltre che ad un sapore piacevole ed inconfondibile.

Secondo me, quella tra prosciutto e melone è un’accoppiata ideale in estate, e non solo perché è veloce da preparare e non richiede cottura ma anche perché è una miniera di nutrienti particolarmente utili all’ organismo in questa stagione.

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 😊
