Is there a good translation for "Prefer" in Thai

[PattayaDaz]

Is there a good translation for "prefer" other than ªÃºÃÒ¡¡ÇèÒ (Chawp mak gwa) I want to use it in the sense of;

"I'd prefer a tall glass"

"I prefer something larger"

"I prefer to stay in on Saturday"

Any help woulds be greatly appreciated

Well guess there isn't a way to say "Prefer" in Thai cos after eight days and 21 views....nobody has come up with anything :shock:

Oh well guess its back to ªÃº ÃÒ¡ ¡ÇèÒ until something better comes along.

Thanks all......for.....

I think your conclusion is right, Daryl. ªÃºÃÒ¡¡ÇèÒ is the preferred way of saying it in Thai, no pun intended.

ªÃºÃÒ¡¡ÇèÒ is the exact word for Prefer. However, in some sense, you can also use ÃÂÒ¡... or ÃÂÒ¡ä´é (another thing) ÃÒ¡¡ÇèÒ

I'd prefer a tall glass = i'd ÃÂÒ¡ä´é a tall glass ÃÒ¡¡ÇèÒ (vt)

I prefer something larger = I ÃÂÒ¡ä´é something larger ÃÒ¡¡ÇèÒ (vt)

I prefer to stay in on Saturday = I ÃÂÒ¡ stay in on Saturday ÃÒ¡¡ÇèÒ (vi)

Thanks Juicy ....

That answered my question. It was really to confirm that my sentence contruction was correct. Or find out if there was a less long winded way of getting my meaning across.. Seems like there isn't so I'll just use the more polite yak dai form you suggested..

Thanks again
