What does the English word "u" say?

This phrase (short for tempera) used by Thai teenagers heard from a famous movie, a broken tower.

I mean, not pretty, not glam, not okay.

When translating into English, it works in many words, depending on the tone. Let's take an example.

Ew! That food looks weird. → / Ew / → Ew! That dish looks so weird.

Gross! He didn't wash his hands. → / Grose / → Ugly! He didn't wash his hands.

Yikes! That movie was terrible. → / yakes / → ugh! That movie was terrible.

Awful. I can't believe they did that. → / Awful / → Terrible. I can't believe they did that.

Hideous! That painting is so ugly. → / Hidias / → Sinister! The painting is so ugly.

Follow now. I'll share another great phrase.

... Read moreหลายคนเจอคำว่า “อุ” ในแชต/คอมเมนต์แล้วสงสัยว่า “อุคืออะไร” หรือ “อุมาก แปลว่าอะไร” จากที่ได้ยินกันบ่อย ๆ ในหมู่วัยรุ่นไทย คำว่า “อุ” มักใช้เป็นคำอุทานเวลาเห็น/ได้กลิ่น/เจออะไรที่ “ไม่น่ามอง ไม่โอเค ดูแย่หรือชวนขยะแขยง” ซึ่งจริง ๆ เป็นคำย่อมาจาก “อุบาทว์” นั่นเอง ความต่างระหว่าง “อุ” กับ “อุมาก” - “อุ” = อุทานสั้น ๆ เหมือนพูดว่า “อี๋/ยี้/ไม่ไหว” ใช้ได้ทั้งกับของกิน ภาพ เรื่องเล่า หรือพฤติกรรมบางอย่าง - “อุมาก” = เน้นความรู้สึกแรงขึ้น คล้าย “อี๋มาก/แย่มาก/สุดจะรับไหว” ตัวอย่างในชีวิตประจำวัน: “เห็นแล้วอุ” / “เมนูนี้อุมาก ไม่กล้าลองเลย” ถ้าจะเขียน “อุ๊” ภาษาอังกฤษเขียนยังไง? หลายคนตั้งใจพิมพ์ให้เป็นเสียงอุทานน่ารัก/ตกใจเล็ก ๆ แบบ “อุ๊!” ซึ่งในอังกฤษมักใช้เป็น “Oops!” (เผลอทำพลาดเล็กน้อย) หรือ “Oh!” (อุทานทั่วไป) แต่ถ้าความหมายคือ “อี๋/ขยะแขยง” จะใกล้กับกลุ่มคำด้านล่างมากกว่า คำอังกฤษที่ใช้แทน “อุ!” (เลือกตามโทน) 1) Ew! (อีว) ใช้เวลารู้สึกยี้/เหม็น/ไม่อยากแตะต้อง - Ew! Something smells weird. 2) Gross! (โกรส) เน้น “น่าขยะแขยง” ชัด ๆ - Gross! He didn’t wash his hands. 3) Yikes! (ไยคส์) ออกแนว “แย่แล้ว/ไม่น่ามองเลย” ตกใจปนไม่โอเค - Yikes! That photo is awful. 4) Awful (ออฟุ่ล) แปลว่าแย่มาก ใช้ได้กว้าง ไม่จำเป็นต้องขยะแขยง - The service was awful. 5) Hideous (ฮิดิอัส) แปลว่า “น่าเกลียดมาก/ดูไม่ได้” (ค่อนข้างแรง) - That design is hideous. 6) Disgusting (ดิสกัสทิง) แรงและตรงสุดในความหมาย “น่าขยะแขยง” - That’s disgusting. Please stop. ทริคเล็ก ๆ เวลาเลือกคำ (กันใช้ผิดสถานการณ์) - ถ้า “ยี้เพราะสกปรก/กลิ่น/สุขอนามัย” เลือก Ew / Gross / Disgusting - ถ้า “แย่ น่ากลัว น่าอึดอัด” แต่ไม่ถึงกับสกปรก เลือก Yikes / Awful - ถ้า “น่าเกลียดมาก” เน้นภาพลักษณ์ เลือก Hideous สุดท้ายคำพวกนี้เป็นอุทาน ควรระวังใช้กับคนโดยตรง เพราะอาจฟังดูแรงหรือเสียมารยาทได้ ถ้าจะสุภาพขึ้น ลองพูดว่า “That doesn’t look good.” หรือ “That’s not okay.” ก็รอดเหมือนกัน
