[eddiepoju]

Thank you for the videos! Good stuff, khop khun ka! Dza phayayaam rian phasaa thai ka.

[irish66]

Thank you. But I suspect there are situations where it isn't used. eg cops and criminals.

[bphaiteeo]

once you get to thailand [ the greatest country in the world ] it becomes much easier to speak thai as you will here words and phrases that you have learnt being spoken around you - remember the tones are most important ie the sentence who sells chicken eggs is all the same word in thai the only way to make sense is in the tone - also the word gow or cow again depends on tone as the word means 9 different things including : rice enter white no.9 etc

[irish66]

@bphaiteeo oh! I thought Ireland was the greatest country in the world :)

[bphaiteeo]

@irish66 yes of course ireland is the greatest country - i dont know what i was thinking saying thailand was the greatest - please excuse me

[irish66]

@bphaiteeo lol. How about we share the title :)

[bphaiteeo]

@irish66 perfect idea i absolutely love your attitude way to go !

[irish66]

@bphaiteeo thanks for the wonderful laugh on this dry but cold friday morning. Well I think that's what the weather is. I'm still in the bed.

[sportgirl202]

for every phrase do you have to end with krub/ka? or just hello?

[applejous]

@sportgirl202 It is prefered to end every sentence with kha/khub. This had to do with a formal issue and showing respect. If you don't end your sentences with kha/khub, it is considered rude.

However, it is not necessary amongst friends, but it is definitely a must when speaking to strangers and older people.

[irish66]

@aifusatiluj yes, i agree. I go a thai massage, and have become good friends with owner and girl working there.

I said hello, good afternoon to the girl, the way indicated in video. she told me that Sawadeekrap was the right way.

My question. When do you say krap/krub

if i say hello, good afternoon. how are you?

Do i say krap/krub at the when I'm finished speaking ie at the end of how are you?, or at end of first sentence ie Good afternoon.

[applejous]

@irish66 It is prefered to end EVERY sentence with kha/khub, so not just when you are finished speaking. It is considered respectful and polite. So, it would be: "Hello kha/khub. How are you kha/khub? What have you been up to kha/khub?"

[aifusatiluj]

Instead of good Morning, good Afternoon, good evening, etc just greet with Sawadeeka (female) Sawadeekrap (male) or just sawadee...Is good enough :)

[hydromanor]

When Thai meet other people, Thai men just greet "Sa-Wud-Dee, Krub" while women speak "Sa-Wud-Dee, Ka". If you greet following this vdo, you would make Thai smiling because it is weird. Thai unlikely emphasis the time important such morning, afternoon, evening or even night.

Sa-Wud-Dee = Hello or Hi

Krub = polite ending word spoken by men

Ka = polite ending word spoken by women

I am 100% Thai.

[bn137]

[megasector100]

[Billy3032572]

damn! is very difficult to memorize all.... i think the best way to learn thai is to find a thai girl friend

[mochalisa24]

@camandthai sure ! you're welcome :D

[cbunming]

@SKRIBANTO Just "Sa-wat-di" with a sincere smile is the best greeting for any time. Don't forget to end every sentence with "krap" or "kha".

[mochalisa24]

@camandthai you're welcome xD have you seen Crazy Little Thing Called Love ? it's really a great movie :D

[mochalisa24]

@camandthai you're lucky. I'm filipino and I love thailand people :)

[brozac1011]

[brozac1011]

[alchemistofsins]

My husband is Thai, so I am learning so I can communicate with his parents and sister's who don't speak english. Till I get Rosetta Stone, I will use this.

[sampleforyou]

[mazter11jaz4trk]

I wanna go to thai and say hi to baifern :)) ( whooo!! BAIFERN!!!)

hahaha anyway, how do you spell hello in thai? is it sawadee ka? sawaddee ka? sawatdii ka? it's kinda confusing xD

[ThailandChaster007]

ใครเขาสวัสดีตอนเช้า ตอนบ่าย ตอนเย็นกัน

สวัสดี จบ

[beamtyyy6927]

แง่มๆๆ - - เหมือนเราเรียนภาษาอังกฤษ ฮ่าๆ

[cbunming]

I'm Thai. I can say that no Thai people really speak "Good morning," "Good afternoon," "Good evening," and "Good night." All these words are newly-invented and used only in translation from the Western languages to Thai language.

[turng]

@cbunming if you don't use these phrases then what you say?

[cbunming]

@turng "Sa-wat-di" at any time, for both greeting and leaving. (no distinction between "hello" and "good bye") If you know how Hawaiians use the word "Aloha", you'll get this easily.

[Pepoo001]

[hanniiihp]

Thank you <3 I want 2 understand thai :P I hope it does not take so very long time ^^

[prathan23312]

i'm thai,i think in thai social we dont mind about the position of sun in the sky so the pharse GOOD MORNING , GOOD AFTERNOON, GOOD EVENING,GOOD NIGHT that can say just SAWADDI ( krub / ka ) when they meet each other.

[sdarvell]

@prathan23312 I think that's the same everywhere. I'm Australian and our time based greetings are rarely used.

[BrandonAlbers]

I agree. I've never heard anyone say good morning/afternoon/ night. But some say "fun dee" meaning dream good though.

[xoNanamiHikaruxo]

@prathan23312

i think those starter phrases are just to get used to saying

thai. because honestly, even in america or europe, people

will just say 'morning' or 'hi' not like ' good afternoon

or 'good night'. lolz

[porbello9]
