Tonight in our weekly Thai tutoring session with Supot, Liz and I learned a very important distinction--the difference between "close the door" and "close the fish."Close the door: "bit p/blaa d/thow"
Close the fish: "bit p/blaa d/thoo"
Yes, it's that easy to sound like an idiot in Thai.
Really the two most important things we need to remember how to say are:
"Pud ee krung dai mais?" Can you say that again?
"Nii gai?" Is this chicken?
HAHAHA. I am going to miss these nights when we leave. Or maybe every night will be like this in Thailand.... us looking "baah" to the entertainment of everyone Thai. :)
