Some of my personal favorites:

I love how my gf says #'s-just sounds adorable when she repeats back a phone number I have just given her

How she refers to her son going out playing with his friends-"Nut go joking"

When she's trying to find the write way to explain something in english to me she will say the word "about" many times in a row while in thought
Her-"how do I say? It's about,abouut, abouuuuut......." Its absoultely adorable

I'd love to here your favorite, I'm sure they will be funny and cute

TG: What your name?
Me: Pete
TG: Peace
Me: No, Pete
TG: Peace
Me: Say Pe
TG: Pe
ME Say Ta
TG: Ta
ME: Pete

Me: Call me Bob

Peace from America

Once BKK if was laking with a BG and tole her that I found it cute when Thais pronounce R's like L's. I used soLLy as an example. She replied "I say soRRy". A little later she said: "I want go to your Loom"

My GF uses `am´ very often in stead of `I´ also very funny how she mix up the sentence. For example: Am look picture you with me. Here she means to say that she looks at my picture that she has at home.
Other things as mentioned above are very recognisable too.

I had a girl who got annoyed if I laughed at her English. Then she'd say, "Now have a question, how long you bin cazy?"

Wow too many to mention, I reckon I could do a JB on this thread alone, love 'Shed dup', 'you eejit' the latter I taught her. 'Plass me didger' which means can you give me the TV remote control.

I to very much like the mixed up sentance, that is until I have my Thai lesson then realise this is the order that they actually say the words in.

' you many question man', 'we go see no can see man' (invisible man film), 'stinky fit (fish) stinky fess (face) sticky parp (fart)'

Wow why is it when you write on one of these threads to two hundred thousand little saying leave your head.' cos youno ckclever'

My late wife spoke French with a Thai/Cambodian accent and couldn't grasp that English was different. So I got comments like: "You make coshonelie when I no ici for nettoyay toujours". Roughly translated: "You make this place a sh*thole when I'm not around to always clean up" Cute accent though.

One of my favorite sms I get is "darling do u besy work?" another one is when she says "darling, i have something to tell u".

Now, the first time I heard it I was wondering to myself if there was aout to be a bomb shell dropped

but it turned out to be nothing significant at all.

Doesn't seem to matter if it is a small or big thing she leads in with the same saying.

Nanook · #9 25-02-2007, 22:22

Mine often tells me in her morning sms "My Love you are happy in your work". Or "You have a good sleep with me".

Such lines always make me start my day with a smile.

my gf preceeds every question with " can i ask you 1 question" we are up to 1 million in 3 years by the way

Mr Lucky · #11 26-02-2007, 01:12

When my wife is startled she'll often shout, "Oi! Ha gin dak!"

I finally got her to tell me what it meant in her Isaan Lao dialect - so hilarious to see such a cute girl shouting "Hey! Who's biting my ass?!"

Yeah, we noted the similarity too. I wonder what the Haagen Dasz staff thinks of her gleefully shouting their name and laughing whenever we enter the store. "Wow. That girl must really like our ice cream..."

Asking if she can ask counts as a question, so should answer: "You already did"

it is usually followed by me getting in trouble for something i did or she heard, or a money question

likeitalot · #17 26-02-2007, 03:47

I like 'what u do?' sounds like what did you do? Should reply it wasn't me it was the dog. Never asks what are you doing.

My wife comes up with a good one every so often. Tonight we were watching a movie about Native Americans.

She got a look of deep thought on her face for a while, then asked me, "Darling, am I Black or White?"

ub2yoo · #19 10-06-2007, 20:17

It must be just when I thought it's been enough...

...:"One more beer, honey ?"

Aehh, yes darling, thanks

The wide-eyed way she asked the question was so damn cute. "From the mouths of babes" as they say. When I finally stopped laughing, I realized she saw how Native Americans were regarded in the movie and she was trying to figure out where she fit on the US social/racial scale.

A few weeks ago when i was there the tides were very low for a couple of days.
We were passing the beach when my gf. said Tilak, i don't understand. Me - what? Tuk tuk wan have fontok maak maak, why talay no have naam .
I spent 5 minutes trying to explain about tides and moon phases etc. then told her. Talay go to England, maybe next week it come back to Phuket.
That satisfied her, no more questions.

sundancekid · #23 11-06-2007, 23:55

I thought her response after a heavy downpour was kinda poetic: Tilak we cannot drive motorbike now. The road is still sweating.

falanger · #24 12-06-2007, 05:03

The way gf says clothes...Kinda says cwose...
Before i met her she didnt know the word 'bleeding' as in blood..
So describing some guy who got bottled 'have period on his head'..
After that she learned some English but at the time still wasnt great..
She told me her son had a fall and had menstruation on his leg (cut his leg) 55555

Loads of stuff like sniff kiss,I love you in thai,dancing and singing

and just generally in a good mood
