Some mice are portrayed in a very cute way making more people like those particular animated mice. And, of course, some Thai People do worship Mickey mouse. |
The word for mice in the Thai Language
The word for mice in the Thai Language is ‘Nuu’. Although, Nuu means mice or rats, Nuu also refer to little girls. So, in Thailand, you will hear the word ‘Nuu’ alot from old people to younger ones. They don’t mean mice though, they are referring to anyone younger than them. If you don’t know that the word for mice in the Thai Language also means ‘little ones’ then you may be confused and think that Thai People worship mice because they talk about them in such nice tones. However, as soon as you make it clear to Thai people that you are really asking them about those little dirty rodents, Thai people will change their tones and some may even scream.
