LadyVin Posted July 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 indeed! it's mean "bald" he he he. just kidding, "Noy-ji" or "Noi-Jai" it's means "to feel hurt" or "feel slighted". but i think "to feel hurt" is more than "feel slighted". so "to feel hurt" should mean "Jebe-Jai" and "feel slighted" mean "Noi-Jai".Ex. One of Thai mannerism has concerned their believing the baldness men feel slighted easily. to learn more at: http://lexitron.nectec.or.th//webboard_show.php?id=264&query=2bf8f6115ccfb27e15da20aa4dd7cd00 Thank you na ja very useful link venussanan :idea: kow jai laew farang mai koi noi jai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVin Posted July 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 language is culture and it reflects the culture. unfortunately there's not always equivalence in both cultures and langages. some expressions including noi jai, kreng jai, and seng are difficult to find one single word that's totally interchangable with them as, to my knowledge, these *exact* value/emotions don't exist in the western culture. kreng jai, for instance, could be 'considerate' or 'respectful' depending on situations. both have a hint of what 'kreng jai' actually means but they're not exact translation. tough question u have. i'd just go with 'feel bad' then explain that let's wait for onlynx..
