Confusing Thai Words! | Fix Common Vocabulary Mistakes & Errors

[@darkangelw8472]

Khup khun Ka, from someone who was adopted from Thailand by Swedish parents at an early age and trying to learn Thai

[@LearnToReadThai]

I often hear (and use) เวลา as a preposition of time instead of ตอน. Many Thai students of English mix up prepositions of place 'at' and 'in' - e.g., I am at school, I am in Bangkok. I rarely hear Thais use ขอ, instead they normally use เอา. This always strikes me as being rude, but to Thais it doesn't seem to be impolite. I always use ขอ. Very useful, Mod. I know 95% of this stuff, but the other 5% is important too. I don't know where or how you learnt your English, but after living in Thailand for 18 years I have met very few Thais who can explain things about the Thai language in English as well as you can. This channel is a very useful resource!

[@ngovan7457]

Your English is getting better and better .

[@juhichurai1846]

It's so much fun learning Thai especially when the teacher teaches so well! I wish I had Thai friends so that I could learn how to understand someone speaking in Thai and how to talk to them in Thai.

[@ThaiwithMod]

Thank you for your kind comment. I am very happy to hear that you enjoy my lesson. :) Join our online group classes and you will meet with other people who are learning Thai and speak Thai with the native Thai teacher.

I moved from Thailand when I was 7. Although I still speak Thai, my Thai is that of a Dek Noi. :) Finding your channel is a Godsend. It will help me get reacquainted with Thai. Krob Kun Na Krup!

[@ThaiwithMod]

มดดีใจค่ะ ^_^

[@youtubeadsarecancer785]

if i want to say, hello teacher, i should say sawadi krap khru or sawadi khunkhru? please help thanks

[@Tall_Shaw_Talks_Thai]

Very helpful, very useful, kru Mod. What I especially like is when you pronounce each sentence with varying degrees of formality- the "citation" form, the polite form, the familar form, the "only with family/close friends" form.

[@Pfsif]

Thank you for the phonetic spelling of Thai words AND leaving it up long enough. Excellent.

[@addsensei741]

Thank you for watching and your positive comment.

[@joh80]

This are really good. The few text books I've gotten really don't go into any of these very well. How did people learn languages befor the internet or befor Mod for that matter? Thank you!

[@Jansaidi505]

Thank you we want morthan words 🙏🙏

[@herdingborahae]

Thank you so much. This was very helpful. I've just started learning Thai. Still working on the Alphabet. Lol. But I've wondered since English has so many of the same words than can mean so many different things, how it translates. I've been watching Thai shows and listening to Thai music to get more familiar with the sounds and words.

[@brandonmerritt6105]

Thank you very much Kru Mod. This was very helpful! I would love to see more videos like this. 😊

[@prlinsell]

Great teacher, and beautiful as well, what more could you ask for.

[@НатальяПлискин]

I haven't seen any previous video of yours where you discussed the topic of ที as "at" referring to location and ตอน referring to time.

[@salongirl77]

Sooo exciting that you mentioned our little country New Zealand in your video... love this video. Thank you

[@ThaiwithMod]

I would love to visit NZ!

[@salongirl77]

Please do.. you will be welcomed with open arms... We need more Thai people to come to New Zealand.

Very good! Repetition is a key factor in language learning.

[@JorgenD-original]

Very good. Ok I’m a long way from get all. I really must begin from beginning.

[@richarddavis3451]

That was so informative and so very well delivered. Excellent. Thank you.

[@ThaiwithMod]

Thank you for your kind comment. I am happy to hear that you find this lesson useful for your learning.

[@nittels]

The best way to translate เลี้ยง would be "to sponsor". So Thais tend to say "I sponsor a cat"; (this way it makes more sense). เลี้ยง is also used to invite someone ("I sponsor you a drink") instead of "invite". Thanks Mod, didn't know it is used for pets (leaned something new).

[@mariadobbelaar2187]

[@thismiraart7681]

This is what I'm looking for. It's very difficult to identify the proper verb when your learning medium is English, as in English it uses same verb for different meaning. Thanks Mod.

[@Wearenick]

Very good lesson. Greetings from Onnut.

[@Fogbrush]

Excellent lesson. Thank you. I've been making these mistakes for years!😁

[@franek1643]

There are many instructve examples in this video. One question about doubling the adverb: What about จริงๆ? I cannot figure out an imperative with this word. Only heard it in normal sentences, like "ฉันรักภาษาไทยจริงๆ".

[@taroneric]

So Beautiful Teacher 😘

[@thetraveller334]

I prefer to write in blood. Is that ok?

[@peggyvanhuis3009]

Hello Mod, I have a question about the word "Before" How do you say: I put the flowers "before" the foto. Or, I am standing "before" the shop. So it is a place where I am talking about. Love Peggy

[@ThaiwithMod]

Sawatdee ka peggy, you can use the word หน้า /nâa/ (in front of) i.e. I am standing in front of the shop ฉันยืนอยู่หน้าร้าน /chán yuen yùa nâa ráan/ :)

[@peggyvanhuis3009]

@@ThaiwithMod Thank you! I did not think about this. I am Dutch and "in front of" we do not use. We use the same word as in Englisch "Before". Love, Peggy.

[@matthewdyer4752]

Thank you Mod, Your English is very good. If you are teaching Thai as a second language are your students going to refer to themselves in the third person? Or use first person pronoun?

[@ThaiwithMod]

Sawatdee ka Matthew, thank you for your comment. It is common for Thai female speakers and kids to address themselves with their nickname. For male speakers, you can use "ผม pom (rising tone)". :)

[@bentpc]

Thanks! I should contact you to teach me intermediate Thai! Undoubtedly, it's been an enriching experience!

[@floresarts]

Thank you! This was very helpful! But I am also confused by "เอา". I hear people say "เอา" when ordering something at a restaurant. Would it be incorrect to say "ขอ" to order at a restaurant? What is the difference between "เอา" and "ขอ"? Thank you!

[@sunwannat]

“เอา” is more casual and less formal than “ขอ”, but both of these are fine when you add “ครับ/ค่ะ” at the end of sentence. I don’t fluent in English but I think these two example may help you understand: “เอาอันนี้ครับ (I’ll have this one, please)” and “ขออันนี้ครับ (I’d like this one, please)”.
