How do I ask the following:
1) What is your age (or how old are you) ?
2) how do you say "can you help me, I'm lost" or maybe simply saying "I'm lost"
3) How do you ask for directions ( if lost) ; ex: "where is (ex:hotel) ______
or "How can I get to____________
4) saw in another post,someone wrote "Core beer"=
-get me a beer? or is there another way of asking someone to get me something.
5) how do you say "not finish--or not enough" and also "can we continue"?
6) how do you say "do You speak english"--come to think of it, maybe a stupid question, since may be easier just to ask in english and wait for a response.
7) how do you say "can you teach me thai"
8) how do you say "Yes" or "No" in thai

1 - He never responds to questions directly
2 - He waits to either LY or myself respond
3 - And then pushes his ideas (together with a few humorous side notes) in your throat.
correct, comes out of nowhere to correct us, with his own opinion, just once I'd like to see him reply 1st
he exploits that and let other members (98% don't speak fluent Thai) think his Thai is superior. It isn't....
again, spot on, which is why you and I must keep him from corrupting the minds of the new learners of Thai
phantomtony - PT,
- 1 - Koon Ahyou Taorai ?
koon is like coon (racoon), AhYou is like You with an Ah (open up and say ah) tacked on the front, Tao like Now
ahyou has an oo sound that is short like "to"
- 2 - Koh Tote, Pom Longe Tahng, Chewee Pom Dai Mai ?
excuse me, I lost my way, can you help me
Longe with long O sound like I already specified for Monge (loan, bone), Chewee is actually more like Chooee, but there is a W in there as well
- 3 - xxx You Tee Nai Krup
alternative xxx You dTrong Nai Krup
- 4 - there is no R in Koh (beg/request)
we covered this, similar to Koh Jup Noi, just say Koh xxx
- 5 - Yung Mai Set
not yet finished (yung like young)
Yung Mai Poh (not yet enough Poh like Paw)
Ow Eek Tee Dai Mai ? (can we do that again ?)
want another time can ?
Ow dToh Dai Mai ? (can we continue ?)
want further (more) can ?
- 6 - Pood Pahsah Ung-grit Dai Mai ?
ood like in attitude
- 7 - Koon Sorn Pahsah Thai Hai Pom Dai Mai ?
- 8 - Mai Chai (no - i.e. Not Yes ), Chai (yes)
although I've spelled Mai to indicate a question and Mai for No the same, they have a different tone
No is a falling tone

Yes, to Sorapong it does! It's the only way he can get off! His wife left him a couple of weeks ago.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmmmm... well I guess "each to his own reach"... Yeah, if I were married and my wife left... perhaps, I wouldn't be overjoyed, but then... I don't know the situation... I don't know how to respond to that statement!
Nevertheless, sometimes I'm a foolish guy when I say:
khon kai dtua
Hmmm... will I get a ticket seller or prostitute??? 555...
Even "suay" could be misinterpreted depending on how it's pronounced...
Same for "jim"..... Hmmmm......
Yet my favorite thus far is:
sai nom
Yeah, sometimes I forget where I am and inspite of my sloppy pronunciation) ; lo and behold... I still get milk... 555...
Notwithstanding... as I said... Language is always problematic... So have at it guys, far be it for me to intrude... As I said lacking the tonal marks (qualities), it becomes quite a story upon itself...
BTW, did I mention it was nice that you guys got back on topic?

DrL's fantasies about my wife are as dubious as his Thai language skills; at least he's seen a Thai word before -- the word "ngo", as it appears in flaming letters on his forehead when he works up the courage to look in the mirror.
He's never seen me or my wife.

How could you refer to me if you didn't know what I was....
And it seems you made a 'boo-boo' too....'referring' is written with 2 r's.
If you need English lessons, come to me.... any time!

Phantomtony,
To get back to your original questions.It would be best to get a phrase book and use that. But only for questions tha trequire a simple answer. If you learn a phrase like "excuse which is the way to....." and you manage to pronounce it half right then you are going to get an answer in Thai!! Then you are bolloxed.

the only boo-boo I ever made was in your wife's mouth, and only because she begged me to.
feed the poor donkey more often and save me the precious expenditure of stool; i'd rather save it for you, tilac...
