Here's the best I could do:
?-ignite-wood-new-no? (Literal)
?-
ignite
-a
new
-picece of
timber
-
no?
(figurative)
This did take up quite a bit of my time. I even had to consult the old man on this.
This is just SOME of the words that can be created by changing the sound: NEW/IGNITE/FINE (TICKET FROM POLICE ETC)/(A PIECE OF) TIMBER/(A TYPE OF FABRIC)
Since you exercise was relayed to you from a Thai teacher, you may know some OTTHER Thai terms. Since my 'Thai' is limited to cognates, I'll beg for the answer.
Excellent attempt!
My Thai teacher told me "Mai mai mai mai, mai?"
means:
"New wood doesn't burn, does it?"
Now, I need to beg you for the answer to the one you posted so I can have the promised good laugh and try it out here.
So I was on the right track after all. I just didn't know that there was a repition in the sentence.
Before I give you the answer, I have another one. A real LEGITIMATE one. I just don't want to put you off (you might not want to try the next one if I supply the answer right now). You'll laugh more at ME for posting something stupid than at the actual puzzle itself.
EVERYBODY IS WELCOME TO CRACK THIS BRAINTEASER:
Khao-khao-khao-khao-khao-khao
I will post the answer in a few days' time to give everyone adequate time to best this.
