اشتباهات رایج

Saying 'Pai' alone is too aggressive. Always soften it with 'na'.

Wrong: ไป (Pai - Go!)
صحیح: ไปนะ (Pai na - Go, okay?)

Commands need politeness markers to avoid sounding like a drill sergeant.

Wrong: กิน (Gin - Eat!)
صحیح: กินข้าวครับ (Gin khao krub - Please eat.)

Adding 'chuay' (help) makes a command a polite request.

Wrong: ทำ (Tam - Do!)
صحیح: ช่วยทำหน่อยครับ (Chuay tam noi krub - Please help do it.)

Next Steps

You are making amazing progress! Keep practicing these politeness markers.
