Thanks I’m going to look for oppurtunities to use this one. (the word นรกแตก)

In my opinion, I think this word is not a good word to try to find an opportunity to use. If you use it, you may gain the negative response. This word is sometime used as an expression or exclamation word which doesn’t mean anything but exclamation!. Anyway,for the word itself, the meaning of นรกแตก is in the sense of bad things happened.It is alright to study or learn its meaning but I think if we speak, why not we learn to speak the nice words.

I remember there is thai teaching about speech that there are 5 components of good speech or วาจาสุภาษิต. I will continue telling that 5 components if anybody is interested :)

thank you

I am not a Thai expert, but I do speak conversational Thai pretty much fluently, and I can read and write at an elementary level. At this level of proficiency, I don’t think a Thai wife really helps that much, because we don’t have any communication problems because of the language.

What I do miss a lot is doing my job (computer software and security) with Thais, because I pick up a lot of interesting things from listening to them speak. But at the moment, all of my work is in North America. Hopefully that will change soon enough.

One question though. Now you have a Thai wife?
That would help you speak Thai fluently in no time:)

Keep up the good work.
