เงิน ล่วง หน้า

In short

Why it looks that way

Literally "money ahead of time": the ahead-of-time serves for early and in advance alike. An advance is paid "in front", the same way the Thai sees the future

A word with a story stays in memory longer than one learned as a “spelling — translation” pair: memory holds on to meaning, not to a string.

In a live sentence

A single word almost never appears alone in conversation. A sentence shows where it fits and what stands next to it.

• นาย จ้าง จ่าย เงิน ล่วง หน้า ให้ ผม

  най джанг джай нгын луанг наа хай пхом

  The employer paid me an advance

How not to forget this word

Reading a word and remembering it are different jobs. A day later, little survives of a single reading — and that is not bad memory, that is how memory works.
