Now is the best time for Thai lesson. I’ve had some trouble arranging the blog lately and I try to figure out where I should fit this article. I don’t want to cut such as useful lesson like our Learning Thai lesson here out because I realize how important a little bit of knowledge of Thai will help you out a lot once you come to this country.

So if you have time to learn a tiny bit of Thai and pay attention to it, only just a few times a month, you will be surprise when you know the outcome when you arrive in Thailand.

Today I want to teach you how to ask someone to borrow him or her something. Thinking of some situations like when you go to the gym and you forget something really important, say Hand Wraps, you have got to know how to say it to your Thai friend.

Now, to say “Can I borrow your….?” in Thai is “Pom/Chan Koh Yeum ….. Noi Dai Mai” What you have to do is just to fill in the blank, what you need to borrow. Let’s stick with the situation that you forgot your hand wraps. You would want to ask your friend “Can I borrow your hand wraps?”. In Thai we say “Pom/Chan Kho Yeum Pa Pan Meu Noi Dai Mai”. That easy! And as you can see, the word for Hand Wraps in Thai is “Pa Pan Meu” which literally means “cloth-wrap-hand”, hand wraps.

A bit of review, the different between Pom and Chan, when you would want to say Pom and when you have to say Chan. Well the two words define the sex of the speaker. If you are a guy, you say “Pom” and if you are a girl, you say “Chan”. You don’t want to say it wrong, do you?

See you next time with the next Thai lesson here! I really recommend you to use online EN-TH dictionary and learn some new words that will go along with the lesson. And practice saying it over and over to memorize. That will help learning Thai for you even easier!
