よくある間違い

You cannot just put an adjective after 'tee'. You need a verb or a clause.

Wrong: ร้านอาหารที่อร่อย
正解: ร้านอาหารที่ขายอาหารอร่อย

Using 'sueng' for a person is awkward; use 'tee' for people.

Wrong: เขาเป็นคนซึ่งฉันรัก
正解: เขาเป็นคนที่ฉันรัก

The noun must come before the 'tee' clause, not after.

Wrong: ที่ฉันไปร้านอาหาร
正解: ร้านอาหารที่ฉันไป
