หนีเสือปะจรเข้ in English is "Out of the frying pan into the fire" Thanks for the excellent lessons and great pronunciation.

[@thailandskyblues3786]

That is a correct interpretation in my opinion as well...

[@hassanalihusseini1717]

Thank you for this video! Especially as I am not native English speaker I thank for the English meaning. Proverbs are so difficult to grasp in other languages.

Good Video.10Q

[@slipperedlobster]

...is that a fan in the background, blowing into the microphone?

[@lepaomo]

N0 4 is like 'from fry pan to fire' if I get it correctly

[@foamyamato337]

first comment^_^ so useful lesson every time

[@thailandskyblues3786]

'It takes two to tango' is surely the English proverb rather than 'It takes two to make a quarrel', which I've never heard before....

[@gaemlinsidoharthi]

Would จับปลาสองมือ be “To catch a fish in both hands” or “To fish with both hands”?

[@ThaiwithMod]

จับ means "to catch" จับปลาสองมือ means to catch fish with both hands.

[@gaemlinsidoharthi]

@@ThaiwithMod Ah! Thank you.

[@tomkee8019]

"Between the devil and the deep blue sea" really means having a choice that isnt any better or same outcome. Your thai phrase is better paired with "out of the frying pan, into the fire". Just my opinion and no offence meant.

[@tully1967]

I was about to jump on and say exactly the same thing, could also mean escaping a dangerous situation to encounter an equally bad situation.

[@ThaiwithMod]

Thank you for your explanation. :)

[@tomkee8019]

@@ThaiwithMod no problem, my wife is Thai and we quite often teach each other little bits of language and meaning. Have a nice day.

[@edbunkers4516]

Actually I believe it means between a rock and a hard place. There's a subtle difference in these 2 English expressions

[@berndbartel4784]

Hello, Khru Pear: Thanks for your lesson. It was great. 👍 Idioms are so important in any langugae. I find the Thai vocabulary is too rich of pictures and meanings. *Query* : _Your cat were not at home, while your mice romped around the micro_ 🐱 ???

[@hecmag7524]

Thanks. On a funny note. Pom ram mai dii. 55

[@landmark3266]

Yes , for example, Trump, รําไม่ดีโทษปี่โทษกลอง ! And จับปลาสองมือ means 好事成双 ？

Thia is hard to learn I think it all about the youngish will have to downloaded an app

[@Pfsif]

I'd rather face a crocodile than a tiger any day. Just saying.

[@UnDAbu]

Tigers kill their prey before eating (cut throat or smthg) but crocs will eat you while you still alive. Think again
