jkdronin Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 hello everyone, i have a friend who is thai and is quite enfatuated with this saying, "to love and destroy" ... i was hoping to get a written translation (text) in thai so i could suprise her with it and perhaps include it in some sort of present. can anyone here help me with this?? or point me in the right direction? i appreciate any input. thank you!

the scouser Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Literally, it's รักและทำลาย rak lair tam-lai but perhaps some more accomplished members can come up with something a bit more idiomatic. By the way, it's an oxymoron (how can you simultaneously love and destroy someone/thing?) What's the Thai for oxymoron? Scouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkdronin Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Scouse, thank you so much, i definitely appreciate it. as for it being an oxymoron ... i've found that when dealing with women of any culture, that its sometimes quite a futile endeavor to figure out their thought process or the reason for their wicked ways. sometimes the right lady's love just destroys you, no? any more or different translations?? -Christian Literally, it's รักและทำลาย rak lair tam-lai but perhaps some more accomplished members can come up with something a bit more idiomatic.

Richard W Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 By the way, it's an oxymoron (how can you simultaneously love and destroy someone/thing?) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 'Those whom the gods love die young.' I was sure I'd seen the statement, 'Men destroy what they love', but Google only found about 100 instances of the statement that people 'destroy what they love'.
