baboe Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Probably a basic question but can somebody tell me what 'terak' or 'teerak' means? Is it something like 'darling' ? I see it being used sometimes by girls addressing their bf. Does it have a special meaning? Can boys also use it to their gf? Is it a certain type of persons who would use it (like bargirls or so?). Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCHANELX Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 it means "silly farang" hehe nah just kidding i think it means "hunny" or "darling" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khun_lung Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 It literally means "partner" or "lover" but in most common situations it is used as a term of endearment as XCHANELX pointed out. Yes, it can be used with either sex, male to female or female to male (and in gay situations also lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baboe Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Cateinbkk said: by the ways, it's rarely to hear a thai guy calls his girlfriend 'teerak'. in general, they call each others by nicknames. Ok, so it's not commonly used, but would you like it if your bf would call you teerak once in a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumper Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Is the word 'wanjai' the same as tilac ? Sounds like - wanjai/ wanchai I have checked this site - http://www.thai-language.com and could not find it listed in their transliteration section. Just in case anyone thinks I'm being lazy asking it here and not finding it myself ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
