Thai has three main words that mean \u2018to want\u2019: yaak<\/span>L<\/sup>\u0e2d\u0e22\u0e32\u0e01<\/span>, ow<\/span>M<\/sup>\u0e40\u0e2d\u0e32<\/span>, and dtawng<\/span>F<\/sup> gaan<\/span>M<\/sup> \u0e15\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23<\/span>. Each one has a slightly differently meaning and used somewhat differently. And I\u2019ll include \u2018hope for\u2019, which is usually about something that we want too.<\/span><\/p>\n
