For that you'd use "kor eek (ig) noi krup" ... for can I have a little more or "bai eek noi krup" for go a little further.Super Joe wrote:or would it have to be "Ow ig dtaii-maii kup?"
Misunderstanding: I did not write eat as "chim".I've always heard 'eat' as 'k(g)in', but Roel recently gave it as 'chim'. To me that sounds like something out of Mary Poppins. Is that because I've heard it wrong, or because the Royal Thai etc etc is a bit of a waste of space?

The "chim" you refer to is part of the transliteration of the Thai word for tooth pick. Has nothing to do with "eat" at all.
Am I right in thinking that 'kor' is a much more polite way of saying 'ao/ow'? A bit like saying "I would like..." rather than "I'll have/I want..."?buksida wrote:

Not about 'chim' but 'k(g)in'....in some quarters you may hear the word 'tahn' used instead of 'k(g)in'. It's just more polite and higher class. PeteRoel wrote:Super Joe, if you want just a little bit more you can say: "ow ig noi kup"
