Everything happened very fast. It's hard for us to accept. Nobody wanted it to happen. Don't blame yourself. Think that name didn't leave us. He/she will be in our hearts forever.


Sorry for your loss (if that is what happened).

Sorry Tommo, but Pseudolus is right. It means "shit + xyz" like in the following common words:

kee ai - someone who is embarrassed by shit
kee leum- someone who forgets shit
kee len- someone who likes to play with shit
kee glua- someone who is afraid of shit

etc.

No no no!
you have it completely wrong - haven't you been paying attention?!

kee ai - The shit is feeling shy or embarrassed (maybe because of the smell)
kee leum- The shit has forgotten
kee len- The shit is playing
kee glua- The shit is afraid, probably because it was playing rough and had forgotten that it stank - how embarrassing Posted Image

OH, ummm, KEE! I think you're right.

puu ying suay means the girl is beautiful, but they don't use "is" with adjectives.
"kee men" means the shit  (is) stinky, so kee ai must mean the shit (is) embarrassed!

My apologies to Tommo for my shitty advice.

I am certain Kee means poo. Sorry if it offends you, and no, I have not learnt my Thai from hookers, but I have never heard any Thai say "No K.Pseudolus, Kee does not mean poo. It is a random word used to turn something into a negative" . If I hear from someone that works for me in my office the word Kee followed by another word I do not understand, the translation is always "Shit XYZ (whatever the other word is)"

Your ignorance is not my problem, believe what you want.
Next you will be telling us that you can use 'ow' with a verb, when of course 'ow' can only precede a noun.
(This is the second mistake noobs always make)

" I love girlfriend of me"

This is why you can't translate word by word.  ของผม means "my" and in Thai word order it goes after the noun so it means "I love my girlfriend". It is grammatically correct and Thais will understand it, but in my opinion, it's too formal for a t-shirt. I'd probably just say รักแฟน or รักแฟนผม.

Hopefully someone else will confirm or offer up another idea before you have it printed.

The first "word" is the sound of the letter. The second is a word that begins with it. Like learning A apple, B bat, etc.  Together they form the name of the letter.

I suppose it would be possible to teach yourself using only the first sound but it would be very confusing becasue there are multiple letters that make the same sound and would therefore have the same name.  For example, there are 4 Sor's, 2 Lor's, 3 Por's, etc.

I thought the same thing when I started but quickly realized it would be easier to just learn them. Good luck.
