Hi Parisa,

Thank you and I have another question. Why is this pronounced "sao"? เศร้า. There is a R raw rueea in there. Is this a cluster of some kind?

Hi lother,

Hi,

How do I say pointing at some words on a paper "I asked for this but I got this other thing instead that is incorrect"?

Hello Bastian,

Thank you. "Why don't you sit?" ทำไมไม่นั่งล่ะ or "Sit right now!" นั่งสิ (ok to use) *both command and suggestion/ นั่งเดี๋ยวนี้(rude) is command. Hope that help. Please let me know if you have any future questions. I will be glad to help.

Have a good day.

Hello.

Is there a way to tell if it was a command or a suggestion, or do I only have the context of the situation? Taking นั่งสิ (nâng sì) for example. It is a big difference, if someone says "Why don't you sit?" or "Sit right now!" to you.

Thank you!

Bastian

Hi Meow,

Thank you. I think there is a little mistake on our lesson คะ should be high tone in “Verb + object + สิคะ" . Examples ลองดูหนังเรื่องนี้สิคะ / ไปกินข้าวสิคะ เดี๋ยวอาหารเย็นแล้วจะไม่อร่อย / ไปเอาหนังสือมาสิคะ เราจะได้ทำการบ้านกัน / ไปเปิดทีวีสิคะ ฉันไม่รู้ว่าเปิดยังไง

สิ used as particle placed at the end of a sentence to emphasize or indicate a request. Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any future questions. I will be glad to help.

Have a good day.

สวัสดีค่ะครู

In the note, it stated “Verb + object + สิค่ะ (sì khâ), however คะ is used in every example even it is a command (e.g. Listen to the teacher).

Could you advise if there is any situation we will use สิค่ะ?

ขอบคุณค่ะ

Hi Roger,

Hope this help. ชนแก้ว use when small group or one to one because you can clink glasses to one another (casual)

ไชโย is the Thai equivalent to the English "hip hip hooray!", which you can often hear at birthday toasts and other celebrations. The format is usually like: ไช...โย (chai...yo) ไช...โย (chai...yo) ไช ไช ไช...โย โย โย (chai chai chai...yo yo yo!).

Please let me know if you have any future questions. I will be glad to help.

Have a good day.

When would be the right time to use ชนแก้ว instead of ไชโย ?

hello in the grammar section after vocabulary the thai sentence (daai looei krap...)is not the same as the romanisation (khun sa-diip ...)am I right ? thanks

Hello Drich,

Thanks for comment. The different between the two is the position of word. ด้วย is used at the end of a setence while กับ used between nouns or pronouns. ด้วย mostly used in the meaning of "also/aswell/too". Hope that’s help. Please let me know if you need any future questions. I will be glad to help. We wish you have a good progress with Thai language.

Have a nice day.

สวัสดีครับ

What's the difference between กับ and ด้วย? They both translate "with" in English.

ขอบคุณครับ

สวัสดีค่ะ คุณ Jim,

Thank you very much for your comment. On our vocabulary list, we already got the ทอดมันกุ้ง thâawt-man-gûng Shrimp Cakes, romanization right. I think you're right about the meaning of this sentence. เขาไม่ไปสินะ (khǎo mâi bpai sì na). Our writer is native English speaking not sure if we could also say that. Thank you very much for your comment. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have future questions. I will be glad to help. We wish you will have a good progress with Thai. 😄

Wish you a great day.

In the comment section when you answered Aly, you gave as an example:

เขาไม่ไปสินะ (khǎo mâi bpai sì na) = He is not going, isn't he?

I'm pretty sure you can't say, "He is not going, isn't he?" in English. That would be considered a "double negative."

That seems to be a direct translation of the Thai เขาไม่ไปสินะ, but I think in English you'd have to translate it "He is not going, is he?"

In the vocab listing part you have "ทอดมันกุ้ง (hâawt-man-gûng)" shouldn't the romanization of that be thâawt-man-gûng? (add a "t" before "hâawt")

Hello Iaht,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

I forward your email to the correspondent team and come back to you as soon as it's fixed.

Did you noticed mistakes only in this lesson, or in other lessons too?

Thank you again and sorry for the inconvenience.
