Glass

Learn everything you need to talk about a glass in Thai! This lesson starts by spelling แก้ว (gɛ̂ɛo – glass) letter by letter, including its vowel and tone mark. It then shows small and large glasses, what you can do with one, and what happens when one gets dropped. At the end you’ll hear how to apologise and politely ask for a new glass.

Thai Vocabulary:
แก้ว 1 ใบ (gɛ̂ɛo nʉ̀ng bai) – One glass
คว่ำแก้ว (kwâm gɛ̂ɛo) – Turn a glass upside down
ถือแก้ว (tʉ̌ʉ gɛ̂ɛo) – Hold a glass
เทน้ำใส่แก้ว (tee náam sài gɛ̂ɛo) – Pour water into a glass
แก้วตก (gɛ̂ɛo tòk) – The glass fell
แก้วแตก (gɛ̂ɛo tɛ̀ɛk) – The glass broke
