Lesson Transcript

Hi, everybody!
Do you know how to say 'I love you' in Thai? In this lesson, you'll learn three different ways to say 'I love you' and a special phrase for Valentine's Day.
Let’s start with the most common phrase.
ฉันรักคุณ
[slowly] ฉันรักคุณ
"I love you."
This phrase is direct. You should use it only when you're confessing your love.
If you want to be less direct, you can use this phrase.
คุณมีความหมายกับผมมาก
[slowly] คุณมีความหมายกับผมมาก
It means "You mean so much to me."
Now if you want to be more romantic in expressing your love for someone, you can say this phrase.
รักที่ฉันมีให้เธอ ไม่สามารถอธิบายได้ด้วยคำพูด
[slowly] รักที่ฉันมีให้เธอ ไม่สามารถอธิบายได้ด้วยคำพูด
It means "Words cannot describe my love for you."
Now you know three different ways to say 'I love you' in Thai! And here's one more. What if you want to spend Valentine's Day with someone special? In that case, you can say...
มาเป็นวาเลนไทน์ของผมได้ไหม
[slowly] มาเป็นวาเลนไทน์ของผมได้ไหม
It means "Will you be my Valentine?"
Let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what we've learned. Listen to the expression and repeat after me.
"I love you."
ฉันรักคุณ

"Words cannot describe my love for you."

Well done! [pause] Here's a fun fact! Do you know you can give a special meaning to your loved one with the number of roses you give?
When a man buys roses for his loved one, the size of the bouquet isn’t as important as the number of flowers in it. It's because there’s a meaning behind the number of flowers. For example, nine roses mean “we are going to love each other forever,” and twenty roses mean “I am sincere to you.”
You just learned three different ways to say 'I love you' in Thai and one special phrase for Valentine's Day.
