सामान्य गलतियाँ
เลย requires a consequence or completed action. You cannot just attach it to a verb without a result.
ซะ is a post-verbal particle. It must follow the verb or the entire action phrase.
Combining too many particles can sound unnatural. Choose the one that best fits the social context.
