Thai Speak

"I go store."

"Where you go?"

"I look at."

I find I am speaking this way often in Thailand. Very slowly and with butchered language, as it is easier for people to understand. It translates into my writing as well. Partial sentences and missing verbs are becoming standard. The articles, prepositions and verbs are the first things to go. It is simply expected to be understood in many cases.

"I rice."

"I motorbike."

Kao jai mai?
