1. ตลาด - market. This is not only the word for a food market, as in one on the streets where you buy fruits and veggies and sundries but also the more abstract 'market' as in there being a good market for a certain service or product, the business 'market'.
2. สวย - beautiful! This sounds very similar to the Taiwanese (台語) word for beautiful, which I think is actually a bastardization of 帥, (and Cantonese is kind of similar too) which actually means handsome. That's what I think. They could all have a common root elsewhere. But I think I'm right.
