Hello everybody! How have you been doing?
In this blog we will learn Thai verb, ชอบ /chɔ̂ɔp/
I am really sure that every Thai learner must know this word as the first few words in Thai which means “to like”.
For example:
ผม / ฉันชอบคุณ /pǒm chɔ̂ɔp kun/
I like you.
เราชอบอาหารไทย /rao chɔ̂ɔp aa-hǎan thai/
We like Thai food.
คุณชอบพูดภาษาไทยไหม /kun chɔ̂ɔp pûut paa-sǎa thai mái?/
Do you like to speak Thai?
But the word ชอบ /chɔ̂ɔp/ also has another meaning. It is used to describe when someone repeats doing something many times or always does that thing as their habit.
For example:
ทำไมเขาชอบมาสาย /tam-mai káo chɔ̂ɔp maa sǎai?/
Why does he always come late?
เขาชอบเปลี่ยนใจวินาทีสุดท้าย /káo chɔ̂ɔp bplìan-jai wí-naa-tii sùt-táai/
He/ She always changes his/ her at the last second!
ผม/ ฉันชอบปวดหัวตอนกินกาแฟ /pǒm (chán) chɔ̂ɔp bpùat-hǔa dtɔɔn gin gaa-fɛɛ/
I always have a headache when I drink coffee.
Hope this blog is interesting for you. See you again next blog.
