| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Jay: When you’re introducing yourself in Thai, people will ask your nationality too. Thais sometimes use the country’s name instead of nationality. For example, you might hear, ฉันเป็นคนสวีเดน literally meaning “I am Sweden” instead of ฉันเป็นคนสวีดิช meaning “I am Swedish”. This means, “You are the person who comes from Sweden.” |
