Who?

Who is crying? Who is hungry? Who is singing? In this lesson, you’ll learn how to ask and answer “who” and “which” questions in Thai, and how to say exactly who did something using เอง (“it was me who…”). Simple, repetitive examples with people, students, groups, cats and dogs help you practise personal pronouns, classifiers, and the polite particles ค่ะ and ครับ.

Thai Vocabulary:
ใคร (krai) – Who
ไหน (nǎi) – Which
เอง (eeng) – Oneself / It was me who…
ร้องไห้ (rɔ́ɔng hâi) – To cry
ร้องเพลง (rɔ́ɔng pleeng) – To sing
พวกเรา (pûak rao) – We / Us

Learning Thai through repetition makes new words and sentence patterns feel natural. Keep listening, keep practising, and build your confidence one simple sentence at a time!

Yes or No

Learn how to ask and answer yes/no questions the natural Thai way! This lesson compares five common question forms (ใช่หรือไม่, หรือไม่, หรือเปล่า, ใช่ไหม and ไหม), first in longer sentences and then in the short forms Thai people actually use. Through simple examples about a black car, Daddy driving fast, a deep swimming pool and Annie’s swimming, you’ll practise answering with the key word instead of just saying “yes”. That way you start thinking in Thai rather than translating from English. You’ll also discover the different meanings of เปล่า, from an empty fridge to plain water. Thai Vocabulary: หรือเปล่า (rʉ̌ʉ bplàao) – …or not? (question tag) ใช่ไหม (châi mǎi) – Right? / Isn’t it? เปล่า (bplàao) – Empty / Plain / No สระว่ายน้ำ (sà wâai náam) – Swimming pool Keep listening, keep practising, and enjoy your Thai journey!
