Thread: Can't translate

I am in a relationship. Early days. I can not translate this line though. Looks strange each on-line translator. Please can someone help me. It's killing me not knowing what it means. I've added a second line if anyone is kind enough to help also.

1) ฉันจะนอนแล้วนะที่รัก ตอนนี้เวลาในประเทศไทย ตี3

2) ฉันจะไม่ทำงานที่บา

Thank you kindly if anyone can help.
My 'complete thai' book/cd arrives tomorrow. I am determined to learn the language!

Andrew.

I get bath or cuba from online translators. I suspect it means bar. Yes the whole text was copied and pasted for that line. First line... online translators got the first half... but totally messed up the 3am part?!

I'm using babylon and google. I check both to compare. Doing same for replying back. Far from ideal. I know. Book and CD comes tomorrow. I hope I'm a very fast learner lol. Some online translations are leading to unnecessary worry and confusion. On both our parts ha ha.

That's not a very nice thing to say. lol.
I bet she secretly (or openly) calls you Ting Tong ha ha.
Tell her thank you for me please.

If she is interested I have 3 more lines below I haven't the foggiest what they mean from a few days ago in my text messages. It led to the girl getting upset and telling me 'in general you don't understand what I say'. That hurt me.

1) ฉันเห็นหน้าคุณทุกวันฉันมีความสุกแล้ว
2) คุณok กลับลูกสาวฉันไหม
3) ฉันจะแตงงานกลับคุณที่รัก

3:00 am is about the time the bar girls have finished their shift and are eating on the street or arriving home for an early sleep...

Is she in Bangkok?...

She was in Bangkok. She moved back North East soon after I left. So she says. She's been texting me all times of the day and today posted photos of her daughters birthday. I'm not an idiot. Not every girl is scamming Farang. She's been texting me between 11 and 3 am. Earlier at 7pm. Earlier at 11am. I was in bed between those two times, GMT time lol.

Just hoped for the translations.

Please no bitter comments based on your own experiences. You don't know my story. But we are the same age. I ain't old enough to be her Dad (or Granddad). Sorry. Not an insult. Just explaining as much as I feel (i don't) need to.

1. I see you every day and I am happy
2. Are you Ok that I have a daughter
3. I will marry you my darling

Nothing bitter at all, flashpanther...I don't care how old you both are...And yes, you don't have to explain anything...It's entirely up to you...

I have some good lady friends from Bangkok who don't tell me that they "will not work in the bar"...It would never enter the conversation...

Oh, I have a few friends who do work in the bars, as well...And I treat them with the same respect...And some of the things they tell me are very interesting and entertaining...Can be a lot of fun...

Sincerely wish you good luck with your friend...Apologies if you thought I was being demeaning...I just like the ladies a lot, and I truly don't mind which walk of life they come from...Everybody has a story, and I love to listen...

True. I don't judge. You just seemed to make an assumption. Each to their own. Everyone one is different. I apologise if I offended. Did not mean to.

Mais pen rais, khap...No worries...That's about the limit of my Thai...and Oz-tralian!...heh...

Why is this guy's repo all red already?

He was just asking a question after all and TD is as good as anywhere to get an answer. Our cynicism may be somewhat well founded on such things but live and let live, benefit of the doubt and all that.

I don't care. Someone obv with chip on shoulder. It don't bother me.

why is she texting you in Thai if you can't read it? that's just mental.

Her English is fair in speaking. So your reading and writing will be poor.
It is easier for us to let her type in Thai script and me to try and translate.
It's call love. I do it for her. She is going to learn English. I will learn Thai.
Things will improve. Then will mix it to help with the learning.
But it is irrelevant really to the asking of a translation.
I can see how it appears 'Ting Tong', hell maybe it is.
That is the kind of guy I am.

How long have you two craxy love birds been together?

The first night we was at it for two hours... then again after 3 hours kip for another hour. It's all on tape. Now put it away kid and don't forget your fly.

She is from Isaan. I think I got out of someone she had only been in the City 2 weeks. Her English is poor. But understandable when talking enough. She will not be able to text in English though.

The bar example you got the wrong way round I believe. But I agree. It is difficult. A bridge to cross. She'll have to learn English. I'll have to learn Thai. Not an easy feet.

I agree with the history of relationship. I've read about past experiences. I struggle to find ones that failed where they are a similar age though. Usually find those on youtube and successful. But I know the traps of some whom have thai husbands. It's awful to think their husbands let them do it. But that is part of understanding their culture. I am under no illusions. Just planning ahead if it works out. Maybe I am being played. If I am she has to have a husband.

If anyone is interested again. Few translations if possible I struggled on. I asked if she had brothers and sisters. I also asked if she was the eldest sister.

ฉันพี่สาว4คน

ฉันพี่ชาย5คน

ฉันน้องสาว2คน

I think she says she has 4 sisters, 5 brothers. She has 2 younger sisters so she is second eldest sister. Bloody big family... if the brothers are all really brothers.
