Only 7 days left to Olympics. I believe most of the tickets are sold out. Too bad I can’t fly there to watch the real deal. You know it is incomparable to watching it on TV in your own house. You don’t get to feel the excitement of the people at the stadium, the cheering voice and everything.

All we can do is talking about it. Cheering for whoever you like to win the gold medal. So that leads to our topic today, talking with your friend about the game. Asking your friend what he or she think who is winning.

I’ll put it in a really short dialog as usual to let you follow along and memorize it easily with the dialog. You are welcome to ask me any further questions about the topic right here below. The key word here is “to win”. In Thai we say “Cha Na”

What are you watching? = Kam Lang Doo Arai Yu
Boxing. I am a big fan. = Muay. Chan/Pom Pen Fan Tua Yong Lei
Who are you cheering? = Kun Cheer Klai
I don’t know really. They are all great. = Kor Yang Mai Roo. Took Kon Keng Mod.
And this two? Who do you think is going to win? = Laew Song Kon Nee La. Kid Wa Fai Nai Ja Cha Na.
Right now I think the red one. = Ton Nee Chan/Pom Wa Fai Daeng Na.

Alright, now you can talk with your Thai friend about the next big games coming. It wasn’t hard actually, even though there is slang like “Fan Tua Yong” which means “a big fan”. This time I don’t want to go deep in to the words here because it might make you more confused. This way you won’t be suffering learning a new language.

See you next week with me and my Speak of Thai article right here!
