How many?
In this Easy Thai lesson, you’ll learn how to talk about quantities in Thai, from having “a lot” to having “just a little.” You’ll find out when to ask กี่ (gìi), “how many,” and when to ask เท่าไหร่ (tâo-rài), “how much,” and how the answer changes depending on which question is asked. Along the way, you’ll practise counting money, houses, children, dogs, plates and glasses using the correct Thai classifiers.
Thai Vocabulary:
