thanks and regards. QueerEcofeminist "cite! even if you fight"!!! [they/them/their] 13:57, 7 April 2019 (UTC)}} Mui Poopoksakul is a Thai translator and writer. A Bangkok native, she left for schooling in the United States at the age of twelve. She lived New England in the US for two decades and practiced law in New York City before becoming a translator of Thai literary works to English.[1] She did so because, "There’s so little out there in English, and it would be a meaningful way for me to 'return' to my native country and mother tongue."[2] Mui received her MA in translation from the American University of Paris. She had previously studied literature as an undergraduate at Harvard.[2] {{Asof|2019}}, she lives in Berlin.[3] Mui on translating Thai to EnglishIn articles, Mui frequently comments about the mechanics of translating Thai. Her translation of Prabda Yoon's short story collection The Sad Part Was, even includes an afterword by Mui that examines the challenges posed by Thai word play and the difficulties Thai poses to the translator.[4] In it, she explains that "any given language is a game with its own internal logic—a challenge for the translator, who attempts to recreate his moves in a language where the rules are different."[4] "Much more than English, Thai tolerates, even embraces, a certain degree of repetition or even repetitiousness. The more stylized variety is done for the sound—in Thai, we sometimes string two or more synonyms together, especially if they rhyme or are alliterative, and the effect isn't to create additional meaning."[5] Mui also points out the subtleties of dealing with Thai honorifics: {{quote| text=The Thai language is absolutely immediate in its indication of the speaker and addressee's places in the society and their relationship to each other. Thai has honorifics as well as what I like to call 'dishonorifics': it has a multitude of pronouns that are extremely nuanced—for example, there are so many ways to say 'I', and most of them already indicate the speaker's gender and often their age and societal standing relative to the person they are speaking to. On top of all that, Thai also has particles you tag on to the end of sentences to inject a level of politeness, playfulness, rudeness, intimacy. Of course I didn't have these to work with in English, but you can still make the tone come through in other ways, for example, by controlling the register of the words and phrases you use, adding swear words (in jest among friends or otherwise), referring to someone as 'sir' or 'ma'am', or adding Mr./Ms/Mrs to characters' names.[6] }} Works
