There are a number of ways to produce special characters in Word by using a combination of the ctrl key with other keys or going to the Insert/Symbol menu, but here is the trade secret. Log on to Thai2English.com and look up the Thai or English word(s) you want to transcribe. Thai2English will then give you the word in Thai script, the English translation, and the phonetic transcription. All you need to do is cut and paste and voila, sexy tone marks.

For instance, you titled your latest blog at tellthaiheart.blogspot.com

“pood pasa thai die nitnoi”

Using Thai2English you come up with

“pôot paa-săa tai dâi nít nòi”

Quite sexy.

Lots of luck

Romance and sexuality? Hmm. I’ve been married to the same woman for 39 years. I just hope you haven’t come around too late. I did drop by your site. Very interesting.

As for ducks,I have 5 of them and get 4 eggs every morning (there is one male). Anyone in the Chiang Mai area who likes duck eggs please drop by and I’ll gladly share the eggs with you. My cholesterol is going through the roof.

If anyone wants to know what ducks have to do with sexuality you’ll just have to visit Khun Kaewmmala’s blog.

It’s quite possible that your wife was just playing by ear. I sometimes speak funny Thai – I think that happens a lot in a cross-cultural environment.

I’m happy to share a few satangs worth of my knowledge of Thai. I’m not always right, but I do try. I keep a blog (click on my name) where you can ask Thai language related questions (as well as those related to romance and sexuality). Please feel free to stop by and drop your questions there.

And success to your learning Thai. :-)

Maybe my wife was making up a word to help me save face. That is something she has had to do about a thousand times since we have been married.

Thanks for ไม่รู้หนังสือ. That is a new one for me and has now been added to my lexicon.
