Thai Words MuayThai Fan Need To Know

Sawaddee dear readers,

Hope everyone is fine. Please be happy because tomorrow is Friday...and the day after tomorrow, you can enjoy your weekends as well...

In this post, it will be sort of Online Language Class for once..because we just concern that those involve in muaythai need to know some basic Thai words as a path of learning. So here are some of Thai words that frequently use for muaythai terms. Please allowed us to use Thai Language, English and Malay Language together so that it will give better understanding...enjoy learning..

* ==

1. Muay = a type of martial art = sejenis seni pertahanan diri

Example: Muay Thai = Thai martial art

Muay Chin = Chinese martial art or refer to Kung Fu

2. Sakon = International = Antarabangsa

So, Muay Sakon = International Muay or refer to boxing = tinju

3. Boran = Ancient = Kuno

So, Muay Boran = Ancient Muay = Muay Lama / Kuno

4. Nak muay = boxer = Petinju / ahli muay

Nak can be refer to words ahli in Malay but only for certain words.

Example: Nak Muay = Petinju/ahli muay, Nak Kila = Ahli Sukan,

Nak Kritha =Olahragawan

So simply it would be, Nakmuay = petinju, Nakmuay ying = Petinju wanita

Words Nak Muay can be use to refer to any type of muay: muay sakon, muay thai, etc (no need to put Nak Muay Sakon, Nak Muay Thai , etc)

*Notes: If you say Nak Muay Thai, it will refer to Nak Muay from Thailand

5. Wai Khru = Master Respecting = Sembah Guru

Separately, word Wai is refer to Thai respecting style (as you see when Thai people meet, they will Wai each other) and word Khru is directly means teacher or guru/ cikgu in Malay.

That's all for now...anything you would like to know more about Thai words. muaythai terms, etc can just leave your comment here or at our Facebook wall..You may search Thai words and the meaning anytime from online web but, to use the words correctly, please ask The real Thais...
