نکات و ترفندها (4)

💡

Word Order

Always put 'dai' after the verb. Think of it as 'Action + Possible'.

💡

Softening the tone

Add 'นะ' (na) after 'ต้อง' to make it sound less like an order.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Obligation 'Tong'
💡

Context is King

Since Thai doesn't have different words for 'can' and 'may', rely on the situation to understand the meaning.

Subject dropping

You can drop the subject if it's 'I'.
