The Next Prince Trailer language annotations and various bits and bobs! Let's goooo~

Since I've read the novels, I'm gonna try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible! If you've also read the novels, then please just silently make eye contact with me across the room and give a meaningful nod instead of ruining the fun for other folks :P

Disclaimer: not a native Thai speaker, still learning 🙏

First things first- Their names are Khanin and Charan, yes, but their nicknames (no context or explanation lol) are Nin and Ran so that's what I'll often be calling them ✌

This is Nin's debut / official introduction to the public as the heir of Assavadevathin. I've gone ahead and marked/named all characters:

In the novel, Jay is a stage actor but seeing him be the center of this choir, it seems they've changed that to him being a singer!

In all of these instances we can see a bit of world-building - the hand over the heart is an Emmalian gesture of respect, straight from the novels:

As you can see, characters of different comparative ranks may execute it differently, depending on the recipient. Additionally, you can see some of the commoners or attendants bowing or curtsying in front of the royals.

When the King gives Charan the quest to return Khanin to Emmaly, there's an interesting bit of information getting lost in translation:

Thipokbowon: ปู่มีชรัณคนเดียวที่ฝากฝังอะไรไว้ได้ /bpuu mee Charan khohn diao thee faak fang a-rai wai dai/ = I only have you that I can entrust something to. -> ปู่ /bpuu/ = grandpa

Thipokbowon: หลานรีบไปสืบหาด่วน [...] /laan reep bpai seuup haa duaan/ = (You) hurry and find out [...] -> หลาน /laan/ = grandchild

Thipokbowon can mostly be heard referring to himself as เรา /rao/ in the trailer but with Charan, he specifically refers to himself and Ran in a familiar and informal way! Sidenote: You can hear the King call Nin หลาน /laan/ as well in the trailer.

Similarly, Khanin refers to himself by his nickname when speaking to Tatdanai, as does Tatdanai refer to himself as พ่อ /por/ = dad. Khanin says:

นินได้แชมป์แล้วน่ะ /Nin dai champ laaeo na/ = I won!

The Fencing Club 🤺 And the guy standing closest to Nin?

Likely his best friend Paul! Because he also shows up in the scene where Nin and Ran are at a party with his friends. The two we get close-ups of are probably Paul and Samantha then:

And please disregard the subs cause we can clearly hear them all chant "Kenneth! Kenneth! Kenneth!" As confirmed by P'Den and Nong New, that's Nin's English name:

CharanKhanin will be moving through various pronoun choices, nicknames, and registers throughout the course of the plot (and I shall of course publicly lose my mind about it every single time :P ) but in the trailer, we really only hear a sprinkling of that. When they first meet, they both use ผม/คุณ /pom, khun/ (= polite formal male 1st pers. pronoun and polite formal 2nd pers. pronoun) which they mostly keep using all the way till Emmaly:

Nin: นี่คุณเป็นใครวะ /nee khun bpen khrai wa/ = Who the hell are you?

We can first hear royal register being used by Charan though (in reference to Nin and before returning to Emmaly) when talking about Nin's true identity:

Ran: [...] ท่านชายคณินทร์ พระองค์มีสายเลือดของกษัตริย์ /tan-chaai Khanin, phra-ohng mee saai leuuat khaawng ga-at/ = [...] Prince Khanin, His Royal Highness has royal blood. -> พระองค์ /phra-ohng/ is a 3rd pers. pronoun used for high-ranking royalty like the King, princes, or princesses

Once in Emmaly and when in company or public, Charan is always heard using proper address with Khanin, such as:

Ran: ฝ่าบาท /faa baat/ -> ฝ่าบาท /faa baat/ is a 2nd pers. pronoun used for certain ranks of royalty

Ran: คือหน้าที่ของกระหม่อม /keuu naa-thee khaawng gra-maawm/ = Those are my duties. -> กระหม่อม /gra-maawm/ is a 1st pers. pronoun used by a male speaker when addressing royalty of certain ranks Sidenote: Chakri, Nin's butler, also uses it but as an ending particle (like ครับ /khrap/), not in this trailer but in the novels and the pilot.

Funny intermission-- here's Nin swinging away with god-knows-what to defend himself from the strangers invading his home:

Moving on! Both Nin and Ran can be heard using the male ending particle พ่ะย่ะค่ะ /pha-ya-kha/ that's used with certain royalty. Nin with (who I assume might be) the King--

Nin: มันใช้ความกล้าและความตั้งใจจริงต่างหากพ่ะย่ะค่ะ /man chai khwaam glaa lae khwaam dtang-jai jing dtaang haak pha-ya-kha/

--and Ran with Nin sometimes. Here are two such instances:

Ran: [...] ต้องขออภัยล่วงหน้าด้วยพ่ะย่ะค่ะ /dtaawng khaaw a-phai luaang naa duay pha-ya-kha/

Ran: หลังจากนี้กระหม่อมอยากให้เราระวังตัวในการใกล้ชิดกันมากขึ้นพ่ะย่ะค่ะ /lang jaak nee, gra-maawm yaak hai rao ra-wang dtuaa nai gaan glaai-chit maak kheun pha-ya-kha/ = From now on, I want us to be more cautious about being close to each other.

Last notes coming up~ A filming site observation from personal experience:

This scene was surely filmed at Chatuchak market in Bangkok, I recognize the type of numbered sign above their heads!

There is only one character I cannot identify - this mystery lady right here:

I have an idea who she might be but that's top secret :P

And lastly-- (partial) Title drop!

Nin: คุณอุตส่าห์บินข้ามฟ้าไปพาผมกลับมา [...] /khun oot-saa bin khaam faa bpai phaa pom glap maa/ = You diligently flew across the sky to bring me back, [...]

-> The Next Prince's native title is ข้ามฟ้าเคียงเธอ /khaam faa khiiang ter/ = Across the Sky, Beside You ✨

⇒ emblems, territories and royal houses of Emmaly ⇒ royal family of Emmaly ⇒ characters and cast of TNP ⇒ all my TNP posts

Live nunew reaction

[redheadonaflolol]

Omg yes it will be delicious indeed!

Even though I have an entire conspiracy theory based on the colors in The Next Prince, I do love that the prince is a Heavenly Human and the bodyguard is a Black Brooder.

And that the colors are coloring as they fall in love.

It's gonna be delicious!
