Suffer in Thai

“Suffer” in Thai is ทรมานtaw-rá-maan.

ทรมาน taw-rá-maan

to suffer, to be in agony verb

  • taw mid
  • rá high
  • maan mid
  • High: start high and go a little higher, a bit tense; don’t let it fall.

You'll hear it in Magic Rope (เชือกวิเศษ).

How to use it

ทรมานtaw-rá-maan is to suffer badly, in body or heart: a toothache, a long illness, loving someone who doesn't love you back. With an object it's to torture or torment: ทรมานสัตว์taw-rá-maan sàt is cruelty to animals. Mind the spelling: here ทรtaw-rá is two syllables, not the s of ทรายsaai, sand. Suffering in the Buddhist sense, the hardship of life, is ทุกข์túk.
