💡

Don't add 'is', 'am', or 'are'. Thai doesn't use these with action verbs.

Don't overthink

If you are adding an 's' or 'ed', stop! You are doing too much.

Context is King

In Thai, you can drop the 'I' or 'You'. If you are looking for your phone, just say 'mee phone mai?' (Have phone?).

Keep the order: Subject, then Verb, then Object.
