Are you sure?

Learn the difference between มั่นใจ and แน่ใจ, two Thai words that both mean “sure” but are used in slightly different ways. Through simple example sentences, like whether Eddie is a good person or whether Jenny can drive a car, you’ll learn how to say how sure you are, from completely certain to not sure at all. You’ll also learn how the little word มั้ง softens what you say when your confidence drops.

Thai Vocabulary:
มั่นใจ (mân-jai) – Confident / Sure
แน่ใจ (nɛ̂ɛ-jai) – Certain / Sure
ค่อนข้าง (kɔ̂n-kâang) – Quite / Fairly
แน่นอน (nɛ̂ɛ-nɔɔn) – Definitely
ไม่ค่อยแน่ใจ (mâi kɔ̂i nɛ̂ɛ-jai) – Not very sure
มั้ง (máng) – Maybe / I guess

Knowing how to express different levels of confidence will make your Thai sound more natural and precise. Keep listening, keep practicing, and enjoy your Thai journey!
