Review Summary

  • Subject + kin + noun
  • Subject + duem + noun
  • Subject + sang + noun
  • Noun + aroi

Erreurs courantes

In Thai, you must distinguish between eating food and drinking liquids. Use 'duem' for liquids.

Wrong: ฉันกินน้ำ (I eat water)
Correct: ฉันดื่มน้ำ (I drink water)

You don't need to put 'eat' after 'order'. The verb 'sang' is sufficient.

Wrong: ฉันสั่งกินข้าว (I order eat rice)
Correct: ฉันสั่งข้าว (I order rice)

While 'aroi' is correct, adding 'mak' (very) makes the sentence sound more natural and polite.

Wrong: ข้าวอร่อย (Rice delicious)
Correct: ข้าวอร่อยมาก (The rice is very delicious)
