Title: Please Help with Lao Sayings in English!
Post by LaoFriend on 21^st Jan, 2009 at 2:31pm

Hello everyone! Can someone please help me with how to say some things in Lao? I met a beautiful Lao girl and would like to be able to surprise her with a few sayings such as:

"You are very beautiful."

"Kiss me!"

"I love you."

"I miss you."

"Come visit me."

"Call me!"

Thank you very much for your help!

Forget it. Lao language is a tonal language and the same word can have a different meaning depending on how you say it. It's best to hear it, instead of reading the words.

Even better! If I know the words but am saying them wrong, I can ask her to show me the correct way to say it!

That's the spirit. Sounds like a good plan.
