معنی
Expressing that something is humorous.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Thai Smile' often accompanies the phrase 'ตลกดี'. Humor is used to maintain social harmony (smooth interpersonal relationships). In Line or Facebook comments, 'ตลกดี' is often paired with '555' (the sound of laughter 'ha ha ha'). Thai 'Lakorns' (dramas) almost always have a 'Tua Talok' (funny character) whose entire purpose is to be 'ตลกดี'. Be careful using 'ตลกดี' with people of much higher status, as it might seem too casual or even slightly mocking if they weren't trying to be funny.
Add 'Na'
Adding 'นะ' (na) at the end makes you sound much more like a native speaker: 'ตลกดีนะ'.
Tone Matters
If you say 'ตลก' with a high tone, it won't be understood. Keep it low!
