lesson 18 Short but sufficient 2/2
Now we are on to Short but sufficient about the TIME
rew rew noi เร็วๆหน่อย hurry up
chaa chaa noi ช้าๆหน่อย slow down
now different attitude of won't be long
1. (annoyed) Deaw si ++ this one is my usually answer to too many times of "rew rew noi."
2 (not annoyed) Deaw na ++ nice aned chillin answer
The pbap family
1. pbab nung - just a sec
2.pbab deaw - not for long
3. rro pap - wait a sec
If someone asked you "Rro nan mai?"(waited long?) Pbab deaw makes more sense.
If you're with your customer in a shop and your mate stoped by to say hi " Pbap nung or rro pbab make sense to me.
So until the next lesson " rro pap :)"
I looked the rest of the words up; apologies in advance for any errors. :-)

It seems like every Thai-English book, dictionary, and person uses a different Romanization / transliteration system. None of them is perfect!
