... in Thai!!! Now I know that might not sound so exciting and I probably could have written my name along time ago. I could just copy what someone else wrote and say that I know how to write my name, but that is NOT what I have done. I actually know what the "letters" mean! Woohoo!
I will probably be able to write all your names soon too or maybe not...cause I still have 20 some rules to learn...
Anyway here is my name in Thai:
คาร์ลา
ค this is kaw khwaai - when you say the letter you add a word that goes with it...khwaai.... is water buffalo
า this is a vowel- sara aa - it is here and at the end of my name...
ร์ this is raw rwa - "rwa" is boat in Thai and the little symbol on the top is to tell you that it doesn't make a sound. Yes, in Thai they don't say the "r" in my name...I am "Kala".
ล this law ling- "ling" is monkey in Thai
I wonder if this means that I have a water buffalo and monkey in a boat (that is very quiet in the water)?!?!
There is your Thai lesson for today....
now back to memorizing all the rules and letters...
