Rat, Noonit (small mouse) - mai chai rat khaa

. The nickname “Ë¹Ù (noo)”, same spelling but different meaning from rat or mouse. Ë¹Ù (noo) means kid.

Ë¹Ù or ¹éÍ§Ë¹Ù (nongnoo) is a pronoun that parents call their kids, elders call younger ones.
Instead of saying “I”, noo or nong (a younger person) or nongnoo is used when talking to the elders.
When “noo” is in front of any nicknames, that person is called with good feelings. NooNit, NooNoy, NooLek, NooKai, NooJoy, etc. But NooPhee (Ë¹Ù¼Õ – noo=rat, phee=ghost) doesn’t sound good, that’s not called affectionately, it means a pygmy shrew!!!! http://www.uksafari.com/pygmyshrews.htm

Other meanings: Ë¹Ù (noo), ÍÕË¹Ù (ee-noo), Ë¹ÙË¹Ù (noonoo) are young girls, mia noi (2nd, 3rd, ….wife), concubine, gig, etc. Her husband is sneaking out to see ee-noo.

Some people might have more than 1-2 nicknames: parents, friends, colleagues or lovers might give them more designated names later to describle some kinds of behavior.
