One of the most commonly used every day words of Thai is jing1 \u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07, loosely translating into English as \u2018true\u2019 or \u2018real\u2019.<\/p>\n
Before I go further into detail on how to use this word, I\u2019d like to first bring up the really odd spelling. According to the rules of Thai, \u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07 should be pronounced as ja-ring \u0e08\u0e30-\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07. But it\u2019s one of those few unexplainable odd exceptions, so don\u2019t follow those rules for this word. You may also see it spelled as \u0e08\u0e34\u0e07, an intentional misspelling by Thais on web boards and Facebook. This really annoys the old people who think that teenagers and the internet are ruining the Thai language . . . rotflmao! IMHO, WTFIUWT? You get the point.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll now give a few example sentences for using \u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07 to get you started.<\/p>\n
In the first example you will see jing-jing, \u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e46. When it\u2019s written twice, it translates as \u2018really\u2019. So if you say something to a friend, but then they don\u2019t believe you, just say \u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e46.<\/p>\n
\u0e44\u0e21\u0e48\u0e40\u0e0a\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e40\u0e2b\u0e23\u0e2d? \u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e46!\u00a0 You don\u2019t believe me?! It\u2019s true!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can also use \u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07 as part of a question, asking if something is true or not:<\/p>\n
\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e40\u0e2b\u0e23\u0e2d? \/ \u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e46\u0e40\u0e2b\u0e23\u0e2d? \u00a0Really?<\/p>\n
\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e1b\u0e48\u0e32\u0e27?\u00a0 Isn\u2019t that right?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just like in English, you can also use it as a modifier of an adjective,<\/p>\n
\u0e21\u0e31\u0e19\u0e23\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e46!\u00a0 It\u2019s really really hot!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The word can also be found in a few other situations, all revolving around the basic theme of \u2018true\u2019 and \u2018real\u2019:<\/p>\n
\u0e04\u0e27\u0e32\u0e21\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u00a0 truth\u00a0 (adding \u0e04\u0e27\u0e32\u0e21 in front converts it to a noun)<\/p>\n
\u0e04\u0e27\u0e32\u0e21\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e27\u0e31\u0e19\u0e19\u0e35\u0e49 Truth Today (the famous red shirt TV show)<\/p>\n
\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u00a0 something that is real; authentic, not fake<\/p>\n
\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e43\u0e08\u00a0 is honest, sincere<\/p>\n
\u0e40\u0e04\u0e49\u0e32\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e47\u0e19\u0e04\u0e19\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e43\u0e08\u0e21\u0e32\u0e01 He is a very sincere person.<\/p>\n
\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e08\u0e31\u0e07\u00a0 serious<\/p>\n
\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e14\u0e49\u0e27\u0e22 Hey, you\u2019re right! (say this when someone says something you weren\u2019t first aware of, but quickly agreed with)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
