Laotian - ພາສາລາວ
I would like to introduce some Laotian lessons here on a regular basis so if you are interested thats great ! Please come and enjoy. I am a native speaker grew up in Vientaine; I can speak, write and read Laotian in additon to that I can read and speak Thai as good as my native langugage but my writing is null.
Hope that I can share to the all of you. There are going to be everyday language to start with and it should progress and as it goes a long.
Greeting:
Sabiadee =Hi / Hello =ສະບາຍດີ
Sabaideebor ?/ Chao Sabiadeebor ? =How are you ? = ສະບາຍດີບໍ?/ ເຈົ້າສະບາຍດີບໍ?
Sabiadee= dee= good=ດີ
Chao = you or yes =ເຈົ້າ same sound and spelling
Bor = ບໍ (in the end of the sentence make it yes/no question)
Lao people don't usually say these words to one another only Sabiadee is good enough.
Sabiadee Ton Sao = Good Morning = ສະບາຍດີຕອນເຊົ້າ
Sabaidee Ton Suey = Good Afternoon = ສະບາຍດີຕອນສວາຍ
Sabiadee Ton Lang = Good Evening = ສະບາຍດີຕອນແລງ
Hope you can quess what are Ton Sao, Ton Suey and Ton Lang mean
Ton Sao = Morning = ຕອນເຊົ້າ
Ton Suey =Afternoon = ຕອນສວາຍ
Ton Lang = Evening = ຕອນແລງ
Good night = Latri SaVad = ລາຕຼີ ສະຫວັດ there is not Sabaidee in there huh!! just something you got to remember.
La Lorn = Good bye!= ລາ ກອ່ນ
These words are very neutral tones so you can't go wrong just sound them plain from english spelling.
At this moment I might not be able to satisfiy to all of your needs in terms of official language or Translation but I will put a recource link to facebook group of which I am a member ; for you. This group is free but you got to be a member before you can post anything. There are both Laotians or foreignors a like helping each other Translation from Englsih to Laotian or vice versa.
