Thai. Sense: "if (+ conditional clause)". Can't find this sense in dictionaries. Never seen it used this way. Can we attest it? Thriftypapaya (talk) 06:28, 21 October 2022 (UTC)


 * That entry needs a lot of clean up, and reference to a grammar. The entry for  gives an example of the sort of work needed.  Quite a few of the senses could be sucked up in the sense 'at a/the situation wherein', which is not a good word for word translation, but is a starting point for rephrasing.  When and 'if', which overlap in usage, are part of this.  The dictionary at http://thai-langage.com gives this translation, which comes in the general sense, but I couldn't find the promised example sentence.  I don't know Thai well enough to control the use of this word - I get tempted to say, which is probably wrong. --RichardW57m (talk) 14:59, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the pointer! I found the example sentence here http://thai-language.com/id/131443#def6
 * In my opinion, ที่ in this sentence doesn't mean "if". It's just a pronoun for "ผู้" or "คน" that get omitted: (ผู้) ที่สนใจ... or The one that..., followed by relative clause, not conditional clause.
 * As the definitions in this entry are identical with definitions on this website, we should rewrite it nevertheless. Thriftypapaya (talk) 06:17, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd clearly forgotten the finer points of using that dictionary!
 * And it's the first meaning of the 'prefix' word here, though the clause in the example definitely isn't lexicalised. RichardW57 (talk) 07:16, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
