i think i found a way to bring up bad buddy in my bachelor thesis, but i'm gonna have to restructure half of my plans
#originally i wanted to analyze the difficulties that come up when trying to translate thai pronouns and honorifics and polite particles
#but then i was like ''shit i only got roughly 9000 words i'm gonna have to get more specific'' so i decided to focus on pronouns only
#but unfortunately in bbs there isn't really something relating to pronouns only that causes difficulties in translation
#there is plenty of other things that can be tricky to translate like pat's line username or the thing about pran's password
#or in ep2 when pran's friends are discussing pat's note and how it's gotta be a guy from the use of ครับ (krub)
#anyway if i somehow manage to restructure my thesis in a way where i actually CAN go back to my original plan
#on focusing on all 3: pronouns and honorifics and polite particles
#then that scene in ep2 pt3 where patpran are teasing each other about the dumplings/green tea drinks is actually perfect for my thesis!!
#now i just gotta figure out how to talk about all 3 of these topics and still keep my thesis at around 9000 words....

#i have until friday to figure this out bc that's when i'm gonna have to hand in my exposé
#edit: i'm so stupid if i go back to my original plan then that plan included bringing bbs into it anyway
#that ep2 scene where the architecture gang is discussing pat's note is the perfect example
#of a tricky spot when it comes to translating thai polite particles
#usually when a sentence includes a polite particle you'd try to express the translation in a polite register too
#but that's a moment where they're explicitly referencing a linguistic concept that just doesn't exist in english
#so how are you gonna translate that for an audience who has no idea what polite particles are
#and have the translation make sense for them
#although on my bbs rewatch the past two nights i found one or the other moment relating to pronouns
#that i might be able to use
#we'll see
