Describing Personality 03

Learn how to describe people’s personalities in Thai in this Easy Thai lesson! Through short, relatable scenes (an impatient driver, a friend watching Netflix the night before a deadline, someone who never washes their clothes, a fussy diner who sends back their water, and a grandfather nobody dares misbehave around), you’ll hear each word used naturally in context. You’ll also practise two useful patterns: เป็นคน... (to be a ... person) and ทำไม...แบบนี้ (why are you so ...?).

Thai Vocabulary:
ใจร้อน (jai rɔ́ɔn) – Impatient / Hot-tempered
ใจเย็น (jai yen) – Calm / Patient
ซกมก (sók-mók) – Dirty / Unhygienic
เรื่องมาก (rʉ̂ang mâak) – Fussy / Picky
น่าเกรงขาม (nâa greeng-khǎam) – Intimidating / Commanding respect

Morning to Midday

Learn how to tell the time in Thai from early morning through to noon in this Easy Thai lesson. Practise saying times such as 6:30, 7:15 and 9:45, and learn how to say how many minutes are left until the next hour. Find out how people in Thailand told the time before clocks existed: by watching the sun and shadows, and by listening for the sound of a gong. You’ll discover how the gong gave its name to โมง, and why Thai people have two different ways of saying the same morning hours. The lesson finishes with practice so you can test yourself on both. Thai Vocabulary: เช้า (cháo) – Morning เที่ยง (thîang) – Noon โมง (moong) – O’clock (hour) นาที (naa-thii) – Minute นาฬิกา (naa-lí-gaa) – Clock ฆ้อง (khɔ́ng) – Gong เงา (ngao) – Shadow
