| | | | Thai phrase mai pen rai. In Thailand, you |
| Thai script below on a piece of paper. :-) | | | | would often hear |
| | | | |
| Using poo-what is reallysimple. Just put it | | | | Thai people saying "mai pen rai" which means |
| right after a pronounand place the body part | | | | |

| (ปวด) toexpress pain: | | | | little. |
| | | | |
| ผม ปวด | | | | Nit is actually a Thai adjective meaning |
| หัว | | | | tinyor very small while naawy is just a |
| | | | wordthat is used to soften the meaningof a |
| Chan poo-what huaa. | | | | sentence. Thao nan means only. |
| | | | |

| The 2nd and 3rd examples are quite simple. | | | | |
| | | | Kha mooy means thief or burglar as a Thai |
| I merely just changed the last word (body | | | | nounand "to steal, to pilfer or to buglarize" |
| part) so thatyou can understand how easy it | | | | if it's a Thai verb. |
