Learn to read with "Karaoke Language"

[nuttapong]

I am not sure you know this word, Karaoke Language. It is like slang word. Some teenagers (me too) always have a problem when they play online games on international server. They don't know how to speak Thai language to another Thai people on that game.(because they can't type Thai font) So, they type "Sa-was-dee". Type Thai word with English alphabet like Karaoke.

I will give Karaoke Language quiz using Thai letters for English words. So pretend you are opposite and can only write English words in Thai letters.

:For example:

äÍ - áÍÁ - ä·Â

:Answer:

I am Thai.
¼Áà»ç¹¤¹ä·Â

[billk]

It this really Carlos?

I got: "It is very Carlos" as in "That's a typical thing for Carlos to do."

Who is this Carlos guy anyway?

Could it possibly be "It is very close" ?

[AomaH]

It's close, not Carlos

cl-ose.

[BUCKY]

Ha ha.. now it makes sense. Close.

I got: "It is very Carlos" as in "That's a typical thing for Carlos to do."

This may be water under the bridge, as we have already established that the correct answer is "It is close." I just want to point out--and please correct me if I am wrong--that the above expression is "very unthai". I mean you won't find it in an ordinary Thai lexicon. Chai mai?
