Learn Thai: The particle word จ๊ะ /já/

December 13th, 2011

The word จ๊ะ /já/ is a particle having the same function as ’ครับ /kráp/’ and ‘คะ /ká/’ but can be used by both men and women (although women seem to use it more than men.) Also จ๊ะ /já/ is a final particle used when asking question. Friends and people who are close to each other can use จ๊ะ /já/ instead of ครับ /kráp/ and คะ /ká/. It can be used when talking to children, inferiors or intimates.

 

For example;learn thai

กินอะไรจ๊ะ /gin à-rai já/               = What do you eat?

ทำอะไรอยู่จ๊ะ /tam à-rai yùu já/    = What are you doing?

ไปไหมจ๊ะ /bpai mái já/                = Do you want to go?

พลอยจ๊ะ /ploy já/                       = Ploy! (Calling Ploy)

หนูชื่ออะไรจ๊ะ /nǔu chûu à-rai já/  = What is your name? (หนู /nǔu/ is for calling a little child)

Learn Thai: What is “Democracy”

April 6th, 2010

“ประชาธิปไตย” (democracy) is a combination word from Pali/Sanskrit origin :

ประชา /bprà-chaa/  = citizens
+
อธิปไตย /à-típ-bpà-dtai/ = sovereignty

 Then “ประชาธิปไตย” /bprà-chaa-típ-bpà-dtai/ mean the sovereignty of the citizens.
Now in Thailand, as you saw in the news about Thai politics, the red-shirted protesters, who ask for democracy.

 

 
And you might remember the yellow-shirted one

Learn Thai

Recently we have the pink-shirted one!

These situations create a question for many people that ”Why Thais have to be divided into groups?”
All of them are Thais, no matter what colors of their shirt.

The democracy is not for only one group of people but for everybody who knows how to control it.

What do you think? ^_^
Let’s share your idea, all ideas are welcome!
