a simple line in a movie?

Postby shantee » Thu Mar 08, 2012 12:31 pm

Hi I watched the Little Comedian yty, a very good movie.

there's a line by the lil boy Dok wining "ed-ar-alai-gor-bow, ed-ar-alai-gor-bow" (context : he is so upset by the fact that depsite he tried millions time, his every attempt to make ppl laugh always failed but only create gagness)

I think the subtitle is somehow a tranlation by its meaning but not literal one. So Could I trouble someone to break the sentence (literally) for me? :P

Thank you in advance, kon dee @ this forum. You guys are really helpful and I do really appreciate it.

;)

From the context, it is clear to me that "ed-ar-alai-gor" is เอะอะอะไรก็. "bow" is still ambiguous. So it could be:
เอะอะอะไรก็ บ่น
เอะอะอะไรก็ โบ (a person name)
เอะอะอะไีรก็ บอด
เอะอะอะไีรก็ บ๊อง

Is the character playing an Isaan person?

If it is that last would could be บ๊อ(baawH). The Isaan dialect word for the question word ไหม in Central Thai.

Thais use a lot of slap-stick comedy like stuttering in movies so that person could be indeed ติดอ่าง'ing.

Dunno just thought I'd throw in my two satang's worth. . .
