Could someone give me the closest word Thai has for feisty.

For example 'He/She is a feisty young man/woman.'

Thanks.

Ok, not always the best source but thanks. Could we get a spelling on that?

jai raawn, "hothead" is the closest  that pops to mind. Not really a compliment around here.

That's too strong and has negative connotations. Feisty is more neutral.

How about,
คะ-นอง

ดาวคะนอง ?? heh heh

Feisty has at least two meanings in English - http://dictionary.re...m/browse/feisty
ระหองระแหง -ra-hong ra-haeng - might fit the bill if by feisty you mean contentious or quarrelsome. If you mean "spirited" then perhaps ฮึกเหิม- heuk heum.

from Talking Thai dictionary:
feisty (ill-tempered) อารมณ์ร้าย
feisty (spunky, daring) ใจกล้า
feisty (troublesome) ยุ่งยาก
