Echolalia is the unsolicited repetition of vocalizations made by another person (when repeated by the same person, it is called palilalia). In its profound form it is automatic and effortless. It is one of the echophenomena, closely related to echopraxia, the automatic repetition of movements made by another person; both are "subsets of imitative behavior" whereby sounds or actions are imitated "without explicit awareness". Echolalia may be an immediate reaction to a stimulus or may be delayed. Clearly, you don't because you had to look it up, and then copy/paste here. ???? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echolalia#:~:text=Echolalia is the unsolicited repetition,%2C it is called palilalia).&text=Echolalia may be an immediate,spectrum disorder and Tourette syndrome. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence my question. Copy & paste is a wonderful tool.... Perhaps I'm incorrect, but sometimes your choice of topic, appear seditious. TBH, I too Google very often, to improve my knowledge and learn new things. I am not ashamed to admit (or feel I will lose face) that I don't know something. I still like to keep learning new things that interest me. I am trying to understand why you feel the OP is seditious... Sometimes, it is our own attitude that makes us make wrong interpretations, IMHO.

NanLaew Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 1 hour ago, hotandsticky said: One of the biggest issues (especially in rural Thailand) is the inability of Thais to understand my Thai. In the west if you speak something that is not spot on, or tonally correct, the personal to whom you are speaking can usually work out what you are saying from your 'near miss'. In Thailand there are no near misses, you are exactly right - or you are wrong. The worst example, apart from my inability to communicate my duck egg purchase, (to a guy in a local market who only sells duck eggs - "Ao khai bpet, sam sip faawng, khrup" didn't cut it) was a beer order in a local restaurant/bar. I thought that "Ao LEO lek, khrup" was quite clear...... 3 times I repeated to order to the quizzical waitress before she exclaimed "Oh............ LEE - O...... you want big or small?". What else she thought I might be ordering in a bar was beyond me. A quickie? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has any farang here spoken to the lady in Thai, in person, for her to create this thread, which to me is yet another farang wind up thread ? The OP doesn't now who can. But there's a fair chance that a minority of membership can "speak Thai well", can understand the lingo and have summarily moved on from this thread without comment. Meanwhile, those that can't "speak Thai well", understand it even less and thus are easy to wind up, find themselves wound up and post about their winded-upedness.

Obviously, the person to whom you are making your comments, does not have a great understanding of or know the complete meanings of the words he/she put up for discussion, nor their origin. Basically, they all stem from usage in my field which is Psychology. It is interesting you mention palilalia, which is a language disorder characterized by the involuntary repetition of syllables, words, or phrases. Listen to D. Trump and you have a great example of this because he often repeats what he is saying. 'nuf sed. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, my question is, why suddenly cut and paste words that most English speaking people neither know nor use? What you have been posting shows your own ignorance and pretentiousness because you are using words that you would not use in a normal conversation because they are words that another person has told you and then you went to a source to find out what they mean but you still do not understand them.
