| Hi, everybody! This is Jay from ThaiPod101.com. |
| Do you know how to say “thank you” in Thai? In this lesson, you'll learn three different ways to say "thank you" and how to respond. |
| Let’s start with the easiest one. |
| ขอบคุณ. |
| [slowly] ขอบคุณ. |
| It means “thank you.” |
| In formal situations, you need to add an extra word at the end. If you're a female speaker, you need to add ค่ะ |
| ขอบคุณค่ะ |
| [slowly] ขอบคุณค่ะ |
| It means "Thank you" in a formal way. The word ค่ะ makes the expression polite, but only a female speaker can use it. |
| It expresses a deeper appreciation for a personal kindness. |
| If you're a male speaker, you need to add ครับ instead. |
| ขอบคุณครับ |
| [slowly] ขอบคุณครับ |
| When you want to thank someone in a formal situation as a male speaker, use this expression. |
| Now you know 3 different ways to say "thank you" in Thai! But how do you respond if someone thanks you? |
| If someone says "thank you" in Thai, simply say ไม่เป็นไร for casual situations. It means "that's okay." If you're a male speaker, say ไม่เป็นไรครับ or if you're a female speaker, say ไม่เป็นไรค่ะ |
| Let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what we've learned. Listen to the expressions and repeat after me. |
| “Thank you." |
