14 English vocabulary. A hit that's often misused.🤪🥹

Another misuse of English can be seen as borrowing other words to populate words in our own language, but because of habituation, it can make the wrong thing right, but it only works in Thailand and with Thai people, but if we want to communicate with English-speaking foreigners, understanding the universal meaning will help to communicate in the same way, without misunderstanding or otherwise.

... Read moreเวลาคุยกับเพื่อนคนไทย เราอาจพูด “ฟิตเนส”, “อินเทรนด์”, “เช็คบิล” แล้วเข้าใจกันได้ทันที แต่พอเจอเจ้าของภาษา หลายคำจะทำให้เขางง หรือความหมายเพี้ยนไปคนละเรื่องเลย เราเคยพลาดกับคำว่า out of order ตอนจะบอกว่า “ของหมด” แต่จริงๆ แปลว่า “ชำรุด/ใช้การไม่ได้” เลยโดนถามกลับว่าอะไรเสีย เหตุการณ์นี้ทำให้เริ่มจดลิสต์คำที่ควรเปลี่ยนให้ถูกต้องไว้ใช้จริง ทริคจำง่ายๆ คือแยก “คำที่เป็นไทยทับศัพท์” ออกจาก “คำอังกฤษที่เจ้าของภาษาใช้จริง” เช่น Fitness ไม่ได้หมายถึงสถานที่ออกกำลังกาย แต่หมายถึงสมรรถภาพ/ความฟิตของร่างกาย ถ้าหมายถึงสถานที่ให้ใช้ gym เช่น “I’m going to the gym.” คำว่า In trend ก็เป็นอีกคำที่คนไทยชอบพูด แต่ถ้าจะชมว่าอะไร “กำลังฮิต” ให้พูดว่า trendy หรือ fashionable เช่น “This bag is so trendy right now.” เวลาจะบอกว่า “ไม่มี” อย่าพูด No have เพราะไม่เป็นธรรมชาติ ให้ใช้ “I don’t have…” หรือ “I have no…” เช่น “I don’t have cash.” กรณีของหมดในร้าน ให้ใช้ sold out (ของขายหมด) หรือ run out of (หมดสต็อก/หมดวัตถุดิบ) เช่น “The tickets are sold out.” / “We’ve run out of milk.” ส่วน out of order ใช้กับของเสีย เช่น “The vending machine is out of order.” อีกคำที่ควรเลี่ยงคือ Stop your mouth เพราะฟังหยาบและแปลกมาก ถ้าจะขอให้หยุดพูดแบบสุภาพ ใช้ “Please stop talking.” หรือถ้าอยากนุ่มนวลขึ้น “Could you be quiet, please?” คำว่า Over ที่คนไทยใช้ว่า “พูด/ทำโอเวอร์” ให้ใช้ exaggerate เช่น “Don’t exaggerate.” Pretty ที่เราใช้เรียก “พริตตี้” จริงๆ คำนี้แปลว่า “สวย” ถ้าหมายถึงคนทำงานโปรโมต ให้ใช้ model, promoter หรือ brand ambassador แล้วแต่บริบท ต่างคนต่างจ่าย อย่าพูด American share ให้ใช้ “Let’s go Dutch.” ส่วน “ขอแจมด้วย” ใช้ join เช่น “Can I join you?” คำว่า Back ที่หมายถึงคนหนุนหลัง ให้ใช้ support หรือ backup เช่น “Thanks for your support.” เข้าร้านอาหารแล้วอยาก “เช็คบิล” ให้พูด “Bill, please.” หรือ “Check, please.” (อเมริกันนิยม check) Hi-so ถ้าอยากสื่อว่าดูหรู/มีคลาส ใช้ classy หรือ high-class เช่น “She has a classy style.” Mansion ไม่ใช่ห้องพัก/คอนโด แต่คือบ้านหลังใหญ่หรูหรา ถ้าหมายถึงห้องเช่าหรือคอนโดให้ใช้ apartment/flat สุดท้าย Never mind แปลว่า “ช่างมัน/ไม่เป็นไร ไม่ต้องสนใจ” ไม่ได้แปลว่า “ไม่เป็นไร (ยินดี)” ถ้ามีคนขอบคุณเรา ให้ตอบ “You’re welcome.” หรือ “My pleasure.” ถ้าอยากฝึกให้ใช้ถูก แนะนำให้ลองแต่งประโยคสั้นๆ ของตัวเองวันละ 3 ประโยคจากลิสต์นี้ แล้วพูดออกเสียง จะจำได้เร็วและเอาไปใช้คุยกับต่างชาติได้จริง
