1. แต่งงาน Get married
Many couple go to register marriage at the office or arrange a wedding party because they believe that Valentine’s Day, the day of love, would be a good day for they couple life. Or some men propose girls in this day too.

2. อาหารเย็นสุดโรแมนติก A romantic dinner
Many couple go out for a special dinner with a nice atmosphere, candle light, soft music.

3. เซอร์ไพร์สด้วยดอกไม้ Surprise by flowers
Some boyfriend surprises his girlfriend with a big bouquet of roses or any flowers which have a good meaning about love.

4. ให้ของขวัญ Give a gift
May girls give a little gift to her boyfriend as well such as chocolate, necktie, sweet.

5. ไปปาร์ตี้กับเพื่อน Party with friends
Seems like this is more for single people. Many people go to party with friends, enjoy their single life. It is a good time to stay with friends as well.

Learn thai: How? questions/ยังไง,อย่างไร,เท่าไหร่

December 27th, 2010

sa-wat dii ka everyone, In this online Thai lesson we are going to learn about how to ask “How”?  A questions which ask about the manner in which something is done follow the pattern verb + yang-ngai? (how?):

sà-gòt yang-ngai?          How do you spell it?

bpen yang-ngai (bâang)?          How are things?

bpai yang-ngai?          How are we going?

If the sentence includes a grammatical object, this commonly occurs before the verb:

kem sà-gòt yang-ngai?          How do you spell ‘salt‘?

má-mûang gin yang-ngai?          How do you eat mangoes?

bpai roong-rian Thai Language Hut yang-ngai? How do i get to Thai Language Hut school?

The Thai spelling of how? suggests that the correct pronunciation is yàang-rai rather than yang-ngai. In normal speech, however, the first vowel is shortened, the low tone changes to a neutral mid tone and the final ng in the first syllable and initial r in the second syllable are assimilated into a ng sound. In fact, when greeting each other informally, Thais will often go a step further and say, simply, bpen ngai?

How? questions which ask how tall/heavy/long (in linear measurement or time) something is use tâo-rài? (how much?):

sǔung tâo-rài?          How high/tall is it?

kun nàk tâo-rài?          How heavy are you/ What do you weigh?

rian paa-sǎa tai naan tâo-rài?          How long have you studied Thai?

OK! Now I have one sentence for you to practice! Try translating the sign in the picture below into Thai.

Enjoy Learning  kâ :-)

Learn Thai: To Make a Request

November 1st, 2010

sàwatdii ka (^/|\^)

Now the cold season is coming to Thailand, many people get sick from the season change. Please take care of yourself.

Ok, come back to our Thai lesson :) . Today I would like to teach you how to make a request.

To make a request in Thai we use this pattern;

1. ขอ /kǒr/ +  verb  + (object)  หน่อย /nòi/   =   May I _________?

For example;

ขอไปห้องน้ำหน่อยค่ะ / ครับ 
/kǒr bpai hông-nám nòi kâ / kráp/
= May I go to the toilet?

ขอดูหน่อยค่ะ / ครับ
/kǒr duu nòi kâ / kráp/
= May I have a look?

ขอยืมดินสอหน่อยค่ะ / ครับ
/kǒr yuum din-sǒr nòi kâ / kráp/
= May I borrow your pencil?

 

2. ขอ /kǒr/  +  noun   +  หน่อย  /nòi/   =    May I have________?

For example;

ขอน้ำหน่อยค่ะ/ ครับ
/kǒr nám nòi kâ / kráp/
= May I have water?

ขอปากกาหน่อยค่ะ / ครับ
/kǒr bpàak-gaa nòi kâ / kráp/
= May I have a pen?

ขอทางหน่อยค่ะ / ครับ
/kǒr taang nòi kâ / kráp/
= May I have the way? (= Excuse me, I need to go out. Use when you find somebody is blocking your way.)

***Remember to put ค่ะ /kâ/or ครับ /kráp/ at the end to make it more polite.

May I have?, ask for, making a request

Hope you enjoyed! Please keep practicing :)
