Hi, Bill
I beg to differ in two non zen questions
-Hungry? has the subject implicit. You do not place it, but it is implied.
The werb in spanish or catalan would be also implicit, so, I suppose same in
english.
-finnish is a westerner language. And they have a lot of words to design the

ED,
Your picture says, 'if you don't ask, you don't suffer'. That is nonsense.
Suffering exists whether you ask or not. The difference is whether you know it.

In the example I used Hungry? you are correct that the subject (you) is
implied probably because it is a question. How about Hungry!; or better
yet Fire!?. In the case of Fire! there is no subject/object implied
just Fire!, Just THIS!

Actually Thai does not really have three tenses as I said, not in the same way
as English or Spanish has. They only have one form of a verb – Present tense.
They use modifiers to designate other tenses, but only two other tenses I know
of – Past and Future.

I’m sure you’ve seen a dog with only three legs. It doesn’t suffer, at least
doesn’t suffer from the self-pity that most humans would have.
The self-pity (or envy) is what the Buddhist ‘suffering’ refers to – not
physical discomforts such as pain, hunger, etc…

Thai’s do an unusual thing with names. Their names are basically the same as
Western names: given name – family name. But when they list them
alphabetically, like in a phone book, they alphabetize by the first (given)
name. That presents as little problem for computer
Anthony,
You surprise me! Your Thai is very good, and you even used the word ‘ha’ for
‘look for’. That’s an Issan word. That's my area of Thailand. The Bangkok

Issan is indeed a Thai dialect. It's kind of a blend of Thai and Lao.
It's obvious that Chinese is the major contributor to the Thai ethnic mix.
Their culture, written language, traditional dress, etc..., seems to also have
a lot of Indian qualities. And physically I think the
