dumper Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I have heard the phrase - mon KEE OH. With the emphasis on the last part of the word. You could say it, monkeeeaooow, if you like. This phrase is often accompanied by a pinch on the arm. I have discussed this with a Thai friend who speaks excellent English and had it translated two ways - someone who talks about silly things. Also translated as - I wanna kick the **** out of you. (In a joking manner.) What translation would you apply to this phrase ? btw Thanks to everyone who has helped in my previous threads.

MikeAussieGuy Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Its like you said I guess, like a joking pinch or (lovable) manhandling. Kind of when you want to jump all over your babe cant do it but you got to show her some affection so hug tickle her. Anyway its a sign of affection in a humorous way.

MikeAussieGuy Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 2unique said: Usually said when pinching a child's cheeks, you're in effect saying coochie coochie coo you cute chubby faced satan's spawn.So when you do it to you're partner you're saying OMFG you're so cute you chubby faced seedling of the devil's loins Cant add anything more after a comment from 2U as usual. May as well close this thread. Another priceless comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhumvit_Farang Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 No one has addressed the question of what this expression LITERALLY means. I am familiar with the INTENT of this expression simply from the context in which it is usually used. I would, nonetheless, like to know what the words in the expression "man kee ow" mean, as I have heard it before many times and have never been able to get an adequate explanation of its meaning from my Thai friends.

Deester Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 But when you spell "Mon KEE-OH" look more like Ãѹ¢ÕéâÃè to me. Next time spell "monkeeeaooow" sii ! :x Spank 3 times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumper Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Thanks for your replies. I asked this question because like Sukhumvit_Farang I didn't understand exactly what this phrase meant. I've had it explained as - rascal, good enough to eat, wanna kick the **** out of you, etc. etc. So it was interesting to hear your interpretation of this phrase.
