On a working day

Rain


Rain in Thai we call "Fon"  

Today I am telling you how to say "Raining" in Thai. It calls "Fon Tok"

"Tok" in Thai means fall

It is raining when translate direct it is going to be "Fon Gam Lung Tok" but we just say
"Fon ToK" the meaning is still the same.

And, it is going to rain = "Fon Gam Lumg Ja Tok"

becareful ! it is similar with the top but different meaning.



How to say "it was raining yesterday?" 

Yesterday is Mue wan so  "it was raining yesterday is Mue wan Fon Tok or could say Fon Tok Mue wan also.

My Mister he knows "Fon Tok" just that but not anything I am telling you here.

ONLY A GRANDMOTHER WOULD KNOW...

A Cup of Tea

One day my Gramma was out, and my Grampa was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a gift,and it was one of my favorite toys.

 Grampa was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him a
 little cup of 'tea', which was just water.

After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Gramma came
home. My Grampa made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of
tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!'

Gramma waited, and sure enough, here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for
Grampa, and she watched him drink it up. Then she said, (as only a gramma would know),
"'Did it ever occur to you
That the only place she can reach to get water, is the toilet?"
