Thats pretty hardcore stuff right there, i would like to translate it just in case anybody doesnt understand, but after being translated it just doesnt carry the same weight it does in Thai, most farang i think, even ones that speak Thai well, dont know how bad the sentence really is..

But it made me laugh anyway.........

'ao mai, lung' means 'not want, uncle' so she was really taking the piss out of you, by saying you were an old man, old enough to be her uncle, or even more likely, 'fuck off, you old goat'

.

You were lucky she didn't say 'Ao mai, phoo' - 'Don't want, grandad'.

**dirtydog** · 22-08-2007, 08:24 PM

^Huh. "Ao Mai" is a question not a statement, "Lung" she may have been jokingly refering to his penis as "Lung", they also may call it your "Nong Chai" younger brother, etc.

Yes, that was wrong of me, I use the OP's original. It should have been 'Mai ao' - 'not want'. I have one dictionary that refers to the penis as 'leung', but the Thai G/F says she's never heard the expression. She knew 'nong chai' though.

Perhaps she was saying 'not want penis/dick/whatever' rather than 'lung/uncle' and the OP got it/heard it wrong.

It's a bugger, this transliteration, innit?

It's not rude, just a bit direct.

tried that today with a young lady..she guafffed, which is better than a laugh i guess.

I assume that means 'guffawed' ...? I bet she did, if you said that to her. Lucky you didn't get a slap.

The "do you want it, uncle" version sounds more probably IMO

Yes, it does mate - see below

yup, wrong info there mr fixit

Sorry, no it ain't. Dictionary says so, girlfriend says so, Thai friends say so. Sio with a rising tone, pronounced 'see-ow'.

Sorry, can't type the Thai characters, but that's the sound it transliterates to. Like I said above, this transliteration is a bugger cos it ain't exact. If I can scan the dictionary entry and put it up as an attachment, I will.

Always thought "jòot sòot yôt" was used for orgasm?

It is used, but only in books or nature programs.

I like 'sawan chan jet'

How about 'soeng mee kwam dtong gan tang pet", for horny.

It definately doesn't mean orgasm.

เสียว is a very common word. The original meaning is the sensation of fear or erotic arousal. Thais usually use it as an exaggeration in many situations.

เสียวสันหลัง=Fear passed through my spine
เสียวตูด=I had a fear for my ass (ie. when a gay man checks out your behind, or when a car nearly clips you)
หวาดเสียว=Scary
เสียวโดนไล่ออก=Had a scare that I was going to be fired
เสียวจัง=Feels so nice (erotic)
เรื่องเสียวๆ=Erotic (or scary) anecdotes
อึ้ง ทึ่ง เสียว=Dumbfounding amazing thrilling
เีสียวฟัน=toothache

With different tones
เสี่ยว=Being a jackass
เสี้ยว=A sliver, a small part

I've always just heard simply set or mai set.

**Frankenstein** · 18-12-2007, 05:11 PM

Surely only one word can be correct. After all, no language could have more than one word for orgasm.

**chinthee** · 18-12-2007, 05:27 PM

^ I know from experience with a number of Thais that they used the term 'set.'

For what it's worth...

* I think it's just a more polite and indirect way of saying it in practice. "Did you finish?" is more polite that the actual word for orgasm.

**WhiteLotusLane** · 19-12-2007, 09:45 AM

I just hand out an evaluation form.

No, 'taleung' means 'impertinent' or 'cheeky'.
