How to use it

เศษsèet is what's left over or broken off: food scraps, เศษอาหารsèet aa-hǎan, bits of broken glass, เศษแก้วsèet gâew, loose coins, เศษเหรียญsèet rǐan. After a number it means "and a bit": ร้อยเศษráwy sèet, a hundred-odd, and สี่สิบเศษsìi-sìp sèet, forty-something. In Bedroom Audio's song they are the scraps of a heart someone else threw away.

Song Second-hand Love (รักมือสอง) A love song for someone a past love threw away. Bedroom Audio wrote it because a woman who has been married before is often seen as damaged goods, and they disagree: even a second-hand love deserves care, and what one person calls dirt is another person's star. Its lines teach the Thai of comfort: it's okay, don't hold on to it, in the end, don't be afraid, second-hand, to take care of, important, even if.
