Good question!

For god's sake = �����һ�Фس

As for "patronize," that's a little more tricky. In this sense, you're using patronizing to mean condescending. So if someone is speaking to you condescendingly, they are talking to you as if they are all-that-and-a-bag-of-chips (Lays, not Doritos). While there are translations in the dictionary for words like this (e.g. ��ҷҧ�ҧ�), I would probably just stick to saying "���ҷӵ������ �"


How do you like this version: ���ҷ��������Ǵ��Ҵ �������þ���

1) for god sake

Consider from your example, it can be translated to "��������", "����ͧ���", "����ͧ���"

2) patronize

This word by itself, it means "ʹѺʹع", "�ػ�����".

But when it's used in the sentence like "Don't patronize me", it means "����", "��ª��������", "��鹨�ҹ", "ʹѺʹع".

3) "oh for god sake , don`t patronize me"

From the translation of each words above, you would get;

- ���� �������� ����ͧ��ª�������ͼ������
- ���� �������� ����ͧ�Ҥ�����㨼������
- ���� �������� ����ͧ�Ҩ�鹨�ҹ�Ѻ���ѡ�����
- ���� �������� ����ͧ�Ҥ��ʹѺʹع���ѡ�����

- ���� ����ͧ��� ����ͧ��ª�������ͼ������
- ���� ����ͧ��� ����ͧ�Ҥ�����㨼������
- ���� ����ͧ��� ����ͧ�Ҩ�鹨�ҹ�Ѻ���ѡ�����
- ���� ����ͧ��� ����ͧ�Ҥ��ʹѺʹع���ѡ�����

- ���� ����ͧ��� ����ͧ��ª�������ͼ������
- ���� ����ͧ��� ����ͧ�Ҥ�����㨼������
- ���� ����ͧ��� ����ͧ�Ҩ�鹨�ҹ�Ѻ���ѡ�����
- ���� ����ͧ��� ����ͧ�Ҥ��ʹѺʹع���ѡ�����

Pick one.

Hi Alone, there's another meaning of 'patronize' apart from 'to support/sponsor', which is to talk down or condescendingly towards someone. I think that's probably the meaning intended in "for god's sake don't patronize me".

�����Ҵٶ١ is the most common way to say it I think, maybe ����ͧ�һҡ�� or ����ͧ�Ҿٴ����͡ too.

Thanks, Mike.

"Don't patronize me" in my translations have the meaning of "treating someone like a child" which also have another word "����ͧ�Ҥ����������".

If it's used in the meaning of treat condescendingly, condescend to, look down on, talk down to, put down, treat with disdain, then, �����Ҵٶ١�ѹ�����, ����ͧ���繾ٴ����͡ or ����ͧ���繻ҡ�����ѹ��͡ migh work well.
