Hi guys! Are you ready for our Thai lesson today? Today’s dialog is how to ask a basic question “Who is she?” Basically you can use this everywhere, for example, you go to your friend’s party and you spot this beautiful girl and you wanna ask your friend who she is or maybe this beautiful girl is a star because people are taking pictures of her.

Let’s take a look at our dialog and then I’ll tell you what each sentence means and then a list of crucial vocabularies from this dialog. Let’s get started, shall we?

Pu Ying Kon Nun Klai? - Who is she?
Kon Nai? - Which one?
Kon Tee Suay Suay Ngai - The one that is so beautiful.
Ar…Peoan Chan/Pom Eng - Ar…she’s my friend.

Alright, that wasn’t too hard I suppose. Now I’ll break it down for you. There are many new words you need to know in this dialog. But remember you don’t need to memorize all the new word this time. Try to focus on the phrases and how to say them above.

Pu Ying = girl, woman
Kon = person, human
Nun = that
Klai = who
Nai = which, where
Suay = beautiful (we say it twice to indicate that she is really beautiful)
Peoan = friend

You might still remember that Chan and Pom is “I” for a woman or a man. Here I said Peoan Chan or Peoan Pom which mean my friend. So you can see that when Chan and Pom are following a noun, here is Peoan, they will become possessive pronoun “my”.

Ok I don’t want to take much about grammar. The most important is how to use it. But you can always comment and tell us what you want to learn here, we can change our way of lesson anytime if that would suit your need. Alright it’s time for us to leave. We’ll be back again for another lesson next week. See you then right here at MuayThaiArt.com/weblog!

It’s time for Speak of Thai. We are here to teach you how to speak Thai in the easiest way. The lesson we put here are so simple and easy to follow. We’re talking about tiredness today. Maybe after you work out or train for a long time and you’re really tired, how can you express that? How do you say it correctly in Thai?

Let’s set out a situation here. Let’s say you’re been training all day and your gang comes to ask you out with them. And you don’t want to go because you are too tired, so you tell them so. Here’s how you can say it.

The key word here is “tired”. In Thai we call it “Nueay”. Ok….it might sound weird and hard to pronounce. Just go “Nue-Ay” faster and faster until you can say it in one word. Practice make perfect…that’s so true here in this situation.

Ok let’s not waste time! Memorize and practice it as many times as you can.
John: Hey let’s go find something to eat! = “Pai-Ha-Arai-Kin-Kan”
Rick: No. I’m really tired today. = “Mai-la Wan-Nee-Nueay-Mak”

Let me break it down for you.
Pai = to go
Ha = to find
Arai = what, something
Kin = to eat
Kan = let’s…
Mai = No
Wan Nee = today
NUEAY = to be tired
Mak = lots, really, truly
That wasn’t too hard, was it? You can try my way saying it out loud for a few times to help memorizing. Or if you have your own method, please share with us and the other. Learning a new language is all about practicing, you gotta trust me that. I’ve learned 6 languages so far.

Thank you and Hope you stick with us and our articles. You can help improving the article or you can tell us what you want to know, whether Thai words or how to say something in Thai. See you next time!

Hi guys! Welcome back to our Speak of Thai article at MuayThaiArt.com/weblog. We are here every week to teach you just a little tiny bit of Thai language that will definitely be crucial for you someday. And if you can recall, about a month ago we already taught you how to count from 1 to 100 in Thai already. I think now is a good time to learn further numbers.

But I wanna begin with a little review of the previous lessons to make sure that you can remember every number. So I’m gonna teach you again from 1 to 1,000,000 how to call them in Thai. Don’t panic, it’s not that hard.

1 Nueng 20 Yeesib** 100 Nuengroi 1,000 Nuengpan
2 Song 30 Samsib 200 Songroi 2,000 Songpan
3 Sam 40 Seesib 300 Samroi 3,000 Sampan
4 See 90 Gaosib 400 Seeroi
5 Ha 900 Gaoroi 9,000 Gaopan
6 Hok
7 Jed 10,000 Nuengmuen
8 Paed 100,000 Nuengsan
9 Gao 1,000,000 Nuenglan
10 Sib

So do you get the idea? So how to say 1,234,567 baht (Thai currency) is Nuenglan-Songsan-Sammuen-Seepan-Haroi-Hoksib-Jed baht. Practice a lot by thinking of lots numbers and say them out loud in Thai. It might be hard a few first times, but trust me it’ll get easier.

Which main vocabulary you need to know here? Start memorizing the first one to ten, then the words for hundred, thousand, ten-thousand- hundred-thousand, and million which are Roi, Pan, Muen, San, and Lan.

The important rule of learning a new language is you gotta be patient! Don’t rush it. Someone can memorize all these in 5 mins, someone take hours. So that depends on each individual. It’s ok to be a little slow as long as you still can do it.

If you like our Thai lessons here, visit us again next week for the next lesson. Thank you for staying with us. Have a good one!

Welcome back to our weekly Speak of Thai article. Today’s lesson is quite interesting and useful. In what situation you can use this? Let’s say you meet someone at a restaurant or a party and you kindda get into a chat. And somehow want to know about the person a bit better! And you wanna know if the person you’re talking to is already married or not. You gotta ask ya? I mean you can guess, but better make sure by asking.

Asking if someone is married or not in Thailand is not rude at all. There are of course some answers for the question. One yes. One no or not yet. Here’s how you say it. I’ll just show you how to say the shortest and simplest way. So you won’t find it troublesome. The key word here is Tang-Ngan, which means to marry or to be married.

Kun Tang Ngan Rue Yang Krap? Are you married?
Tang Laew Ka. I’m already married.
Yang Ka. Not yet.
Nee-Faen-Chan-Ka This is my husband.
Nee-Faen-Pom-Krap This is my wife.

NOTE: we don’t really use the word “husband” and “wife” when talking in real life. Fan just simply means “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”.

Here are the rest of the vocabularies:
Laew - already
Yang - yet
Nee- This is
Faen - boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife

I think this is quite enough for today? I think I really should talk about Thai wedding tradition sometimes. So you get some ideas on how we do it. And what are the differences?

That wasn’t too hard and not many new vocabularies today. But anyway, if you have any questions, please ask. Or you want to know how to say something else related to this article, let me know. I’ll be back again with next week’s lesson right here at MuayThaiArt.com/weblog. SawaddeeKa.
