The Thai word \u0e1a\u0e49\u0e32\u0e07<\/strong> baang3, in English, roughly translates as \u2018some\u2019. It\u2019s a fairly common word that, if used, can modify\/enhance your sentences. Please keep in mind that this is not to be confused with the similar word baang1 \u0e1a\u0e32\u0e07<\/strong> which can also mean \u2018some\u2019, but used entirely differently (see next posting).<\/p>\n

There are three ways you can use this word:<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For a list of items<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018some\u2019 of something<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Make yourself sound a bit more polite<\/p>\n
