| INTRODUCTION |
| Ben: Hello, and welcome back to ThaiPOD101.com, the fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Thai. I’m Ben, and this is Lower Intermediate Season 1 , Lesson 13 - Getting Dressed up Thai-Style for a Night Out. I’m joined, as always, by... |
| Pim: Pim here! สวัสดีค่ะ พิมค่ะ (S̄wạs̄dī kh̀a phim kh̀a) |
| Ben: What are we learning in this lesson? |
| Pim: We’re looking at expressions with ออก (àawk) |
| Ben: The conversation takes place at a shopping mall in Bangkok. |
| Pim: The speakers are Suchada and her friend Fon. |
| Ben: The speakers are close friends, so the conversation is informal. |
| Pim: Let’s listen! |

| ฝน: พรุ่งนี้เย็น จะออกจากบ้านไปไหนรึเปล่า |
| (FǑN: phrûng-níi yen jà àawk jàak bâan bpai nǎi rúe bplàao.) |
| Ben: Are you going out anywhere tomorrow evening? |
| สุชาดา: ยังไม่รู้เลย ทำไมล่ะ จะพาฉันออกเที่ยวกลางคืนอีกแล้วเหรอ |
| (SÙ-CHAA-DAA: yang mâi rúu looei. tham-mai lâ. jà phaa chǎn àawk thîiao glaangkhuuen |

| Ben: I don't know yet. Why? Are you going to take me out to enjoy the nightlife again? |
| ฝน: แหม...รู้ใจกันจัง ไปไหมล่ะ ไม่ได้ออกไปเฉิดฉายนานแล้ว |
| (FǑN: mǎae...rúu jai gan jang. bpai mǎi lâ. mâi dâi àawk bpai chòoet-chǎai naan láaeo.) |
| Ben: Hmm...you can read my mind. So you want to go? I haven't gone out to show off myself off in so long. |
| สุชาดา: ไปก็ได้ ถ้างั้นฉันต้องหาซื้อชุดเก๋ ๆ ก่อน |
| (SÙ-CHAA-DAA: bpai gâaw dâai. thâa ngán chǎn dtâwng hǎa súue chút gěe-gěe gàawn.) |
| Ben: Sure. Then I have to go look for a cool outfit to buy. |
| ฝน: ฉันด้วย ตอนนี้มีแต่ชุดโบราณ มาพารากอนทั้งที ต้องได้ชุดใหม่ ๆ ติดมือกลับบ้านสักสองสามชุด |
| (FǑN: chǎn dûuai. dtaawn-níi mii dtàae chút boo-raan. maa phaa-raagaawn tháng-thii dtâwng dâai chút mài-mài dtìt muue glàp bâan sàk sǎawng sǎam chút.) |
| Ben: Me too. Everything I have now is out of style. Since we only come to Paragon once in a while, we must go home with two or three new outfits. |
| สุชาดา: เธอจะเห่อมากไปรึเปล่า |
| (SÙ-CHAA-DAA: thooe jà hôoe mâak bpai rúe bplàao.) |
| Ben: Are you going overboard? |
| ฝน: จะออกโชว์ความงามทั้งที ต้องยอมลงทุนหน่อยสิจ๊ะ |
| (FǑN: jà àawk choo khwaam-ngaam tháng-thii. dtâwng yaawm long thun nàwy sì já.) |
| Ben: I have to show off my beauty sometimes, so I must be willing to invest. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Ben: Hey Khru Pim, would you agree that personal appearance is pretty important in Thailand? |
| Pim: It certainly is. And a lot of that has to do with how you dress. Of course, Thailand is a tropical country, so you don’t have to wear lots of clothes to look good, just the right clothes for the occasion. |
| Ben: So what are proper clothes for different occasions? |
| Pim: Well, the girls were talking about going out at night, maybe to go dancing. In that case, maybe they’ll wear a skirt with a blouse and a pair of high heels. If some guys were going out, and wanted to look like they put a little effort into it, they’d probably wear a shirt with a collar and long pants. |
| Ben: I suppose you don’t want to confuse the disco with the beach. |
| Pim: Speaking of the beach, do you know that most Thais will keep a shirt on when they go in the water? |
| Ben: What? Why on earth would you do that? |
| Pim: A little bit of modesty, but also to keep from getting too much sunlight. We don’t like our skin to get dark. |
| Ben: I see. OK, now let’s take a look at the vocabulary. |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Ben: Let's have a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. First is... |
| Pim: รู้ใจกันจัง (rúu jai gan jang) |
| Ben: This phrase basically means “You can read my mind.” |
| Pim: That’s right. ใจ (jai) can mean “heart” or “mind”, so รู้ใจ (Rū̂ cı) is “to know someone’s mind”. |
| Ben: The next phrase is... |
| Pim: ชุดโบราณ (chút booraan) |
| Ben: โบราณ (boo-raan) is an adjective that means “ancient”. So literally, ชุดโบราณ (chút booraan) would mean “ancient outfit”. |
| Pim: That’s right, but in the conversation, Fon doesn’t really mean she’s wearing an outfit from the Ayutthaya period. She’s just using it as a figure of speech to say that all her clothes are out of style. |
| Ben: I see. And what is the next phrase? |
| Pim: ทั้งที (tháng-thii) |
| Ben: This is an adverb that means “once in a while”. |
| Pim: That’s right. It will follow some statement to say that it’s something that only happens “sometimes” or “once in a while”. |
| Ben: And what is the last phrase? |
| Pim: เก๋ ๆ (gěe-gěe) |
| Ben: This is an expression used by female speakers as an adjective meaning “cool” or “chic”. |
| Pim: Right. Guys will sound funny if they use this expression. |
| Ben: So what should male speakers use if they want to say something is “cool”? |
| Pim: They can use เจ๋ง (jěng) instead. |
| Ben: Can we hear each of those again? Women can say... |
| Pim: เก๋ ๆ (gěe-gěe) |
| Ben: (pause) And men should say... |
| Pim: เจ๋ง (jěng) |
| Ben: OK, now let’s move on to the grammar section. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Ben: The focus of this lesson is using the verb ออก (àawk) to express “exiting”. |
| Pim: ออก àawk is the verb “to go out”. It is used in a large number of expressions in Thai. |
| Ben: What expressions were used in the conversation? |
| Pim: The first example from the conversation was... |
| จะออกจากบ้านไปไหนรึเปล่า (jà àawk jàak bâan bpai nǎi rúe bplàao.) |
| Ben: “Are you going out anywhere?” |
| Pim: Right. In this case, ออกจากบ้าน (àawk jàak bâan) really means “to go out of the house”. But I think in English it’s more common to just say “go out”. We also had this sentence...ไม่ได้ออกไปเฉิดฉายนานแล้ว |
| (mâi dâi àawk bpai chòoet-chǎai naan láaeo.) |
| Ben: “I haven’t gone out to show myself off in so long.” |
| Pim: So in this one we have ออกไป (àawk bpai), which just means “to go out” or “to go outside”. |
| Ben: OK, so both of those expressions involved physically “going outside”, so nothing too strange there. What else do you have for us? |
| Pim: Well, another expression using ออก (àawk) is ออกกำลังกาย (àawk-gam-lang-gaai), which means “to exercise”. For example... |
| ดิฉันออกกำลังกายอาทิตย์ละสามครั้ง |
| (dì-chǎn àawk-gam-lang-gaai aa-thít lá sǎam khráng.) |
| Ben: “I exercise three times a week.” |
| Pim: That’s right. กำลัง (gam-lang) means “power”, and กาย (gaai) is “body”. So ออกกำลังกาย (àawk-gam-lang-gaai) is like saying “to get out the body’s power”. |
| Ben: I think it’s a bit similar to saying “working out”. |
| Pim: Yeah, I think it is. How about this one. แบบ (bàaep) is a noun that means “style” or “design”. So can you guess the meaning of ออกแบบ (àawk-bàaep)? |
| Ben: Hmm...Does it mean “going out of style”? |
| Pim: Oh, sorry. That’s the wrong answer. ออกแบบ (àawk-bàaep), is the verb “to design”. |
| Ben: Ah, I see. So it’s like the design exits from the designer’s mind and lands on a piece of paper. |
| Pim: Yeah, sort of like that. How about one more? เสียง (sǐiang) can mean “sound” or “voice”. So can you guess the meaning of ออกเสียง (aawk-sǐiang)? |
| Ben: OK, let’s see. “Getting out the sound”. So would that be “to pronounce”? |
| Pim: Exactly! For example, when we have a silent letter, we say it is... |
| ไม่ออกเสียง (mâi aawk-sǐiang). |
| Ben: “Not pronounced”. |
Outro |
| Ben: And that’s it for this lesson. Thank you for listening! See you next time! |
| Pim: แล้วพบกันใหม่ค่ะ (Læ̂w phb kạn h̄ım̀ kh̀a) |
