Telai-Ka?

When I went to Thailand in 2008, I learned about five words. I think karma is sending me back to learn Thai.

 I purchased Rosetta Stone, so now I can say things like, "airplane" and "the two girls are hopping," or maybe running- it's really hard to tell from the image. I am focusing on learning the numbers, though.

One of the those five words I learned was some kind of anglicized approximation of, "how much?" (as in, how much does it cost?) As a precocious 17-year-old, I would go up to every shop-owner or street vendor and proundly ask, "telai-ka?" somehow forgetting each time that I wouldn't understand their Thai reply.

So now is the time to nail down that counting thing, so when I order my firsrt Pad Thai in Bangkok I won't be that farang- farang is Westerner, I know that one too ;)
