Hello Dara, I suppose that 'Gnum' here might be 'to think to'? Hence, 'Keuang Hhar' in modern Lao. If anybody knows, please.

Thank you very much.

Apochi.

[asianchurch]

Yes, that's correct "Gnum or Gnum Hod" means "to think of or to bring in remembrance". And "Keuang Hhar or Keong Hhar" can mean "looking forward to". They both carry similar connotation. Thanks.

[Naxi2245]

Asianchurch, thank you very much. Very informative.

SoarqDee.

[taidamfan]

Hello Apochi4179, You are learning Taidam? May I ask what your connection is? The Taidam people are pretty unique...we struggle much to find freedom and voice in this world. I'm happy to hear that you are interest in our people. Blesings to you.

[Naxi2245]

Taidamfan, I learn Lao from Tubes. From Taidam songs, I collect words that are new to me. You tell about that, and Merci beaucoup.

[LaoSaiyo]

I understood more 70% of the words, The rest 30 % is can be Vietnamese ??

[taidamfan]

The Tai language (which the Taidam people speak) is quite unique due to the historical background of where our people originally came from, and had been living from generation to generation. The best way to describe the Tai language is, its similarity with the Chinese about 5%, Vietnamese 15%, Lao 60-70% (which explains why you could understand about that much); and the rest belong to Tai original language.

[LaoSaiyo]

Thanks for information, i saw on tv that the city DIEN VIEN PHOU has a name in tai language , you know ?

[taidamfan]

Yes. It is call "Meuang Thang"

[ob2plano]

Hello, I am one tai dam in Texas. You have a beautiful voice and it make me feel sad and happy at the same time to see and feel the bond between our people. Maybe, I will go visit all of you in Iowa.

[taidamfan]

Thanks, ob2plano for your kind comments. Hope you can visit Iowa soon. Do you have any relatives or know anyone in Iowa?

[Laogal]

i wondered if you Tai Dam can understood Vietnamese speaking? cause i heard someone said Tai dam actually from Vietnam does it true?

[taidamfan]

Yes, it is true. Taidam people originally came from S. China into N. Vietnam, and then Laos and S. Vietnam. Because of this fact, some of us can speak Chinese, Vietnamese, Lao, Thai, and French, and off course English.
