samran Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 but don't try and use it as a term of affection as it is done in English, it won't translate. (eg, thats so cute you little monkey you...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefoxx Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 loog ling=a baby monkey ling tua lek=a small monkey (can use lek lek) ling noi=a small monkey, can only be used in certain phrases, ling tua noi (or noi noi) is more appropriate dek ling=a monkey-like child (I think you were aiming for ling dek) The appropriate word depends on the context. What's the phrase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaoPo Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 ....... girls around the bars.........to Farang guys...... "Hello Dek Ling (NOT hello darling)....please come inside.." never heard? I usually than speak to them: "WHAT ARE YOU CALLING ME......? I WILL MAKE YOU: TOPSO-LOPSO-LAI" (slap you left and right in the face....) than they all start laughing and find it very amusing listen carefully next time! a Thai speaking friend of mine told me it's called like 'the .ss of a Monkey'... so beware of the monkey-callers LaoPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
