Thai for Everyone with Kru Robert

Learn Thai _ 4 ways to say ‘Eat’ in Thai _ รับประทาน[Ráp bprà-taan] or กิน[Gin] 

Yaş otuz beş! yolun yarısı eder.

Dante gibi ortasındayız ömrün.

Delikanlı çağımızdaki cevher,

Yalvarmak, yakarmak nafile bugün,

Gözünün yaşına bakmadan gider.

 

Şakaklarıma kar mı yağdı ne var?

Benim mi Allahım bu çizgili yüz?

Ya gözler altındaki mor halkalar?

Neden böyle düşman görünürsünüz,

Yıllar yılı dost bildiğim aynalar?

 

Zamanla nasıl değişiyor insan!

Hangi resmime baksam ben değilim.

Nerde o günler, o şevk, o heyecan?

Bu güler yüzlü adam ben değilim;

Yalandır kaygısız olduğum yalan.

 

Hayal meyal şeylerden ilk aşkımız;

Hatırası bile yabancı gelir.

Hayata beraber başladığımız,

Dostlarla da yollar ayrıldı bir bir;

Gittikçe artıyor yalnızlığımız.

 

Gökyüzünün başka rengi de varmış!

Geç farkettim taşın sert olduğunu.

Su insanı boğar, ateş yakarmış!

Her doğan günün bir dert olduğunu,

İnsan bu yaşa gelince anlarmış.

 

Ayva sarı nar kırmızı sonbahar!

Her yıl biraz daha benimsediğim.

Ne dönüp duruyor havada kuşlar?

Nerden çıktı bu cenaze? ölen kim?

Bu kaçıncı bahçe gördüm tarumar?

 

Neylersin ölüm herkesin başında.

Uyudun uyanamadın olacak.

Kimbilir nerde, nasıl, kaç yaşında?

Bir namazlık saltanatın olacak,

Taht misali o musalla taşında.

Il dolce far niente

For the past few years, companies around the world have been testing out a four-day work week. In many cases, this means allowing employees to spread their work hours over four days instead of five.

Many of these tests have been successful, and people in the UK may soon get more rights to ask for a four-day work week.

Since April, employees in the UK have had the right to ask for more flexible working conditions, but companies do not have to agree to it.

But under the government's plans to increase flexibility for workers, companies may have to offer flexible working hours from the day the employee starts working — although it's not yet clear what this means.

"One possibility is for the government to make it more difficult for employers to refuse such requests, because at present it is quite easy for them to do so," Charlie Thompson, an employment lawyer who works for law company Stewarts, told Sky News.

Education Minister Jacqui Smith said more flexibility could be better for productivity.

"You're still doing the same amount of work, but perhaps you're doing it in a way that enables you, for example, to need less child care, to spend more time with your family, to do other things, that encourages more people into the workplace," she told LBC Radio.

But not everyone is happy with the idea of a four-day work week, and some tests weren't as successful as others.

UK supermarket Asda tested a four-day week, but changed back to the five-day week after staff said the longer work days were too demanding.

Another supermarket, Morrisons, also tried a four-day work week at its head office, but to make it work, staff sometimes had to work on Saturdays, which they weren't happy about.
