Review Summary

  • Subject + ถูก (thùuk) + (Doer) + Verb
  • Subject + ได้รับ (dâai-ráp) + (Noun/Verb)
  • Speaker + Verb (say/tell) + ว่า (wâa) + Sentence

자주 하는 실수

Using 'thuk' for a compliment sounds like you were 'punished' with a compliment. Use 'dai-rab' for positive things.

Wrong: ฉันถูกชม (Chan thuk chom)
정답: ฉันได้รับคำชม (Chan dai-rab kham-chom)

In Thai, you almost always need 'wa' after 'bok' to introduce the reported clause.

Wrong: เขาบอกฉันชอบส้ม (Khao bok chan chop som)
정답: เขาบอกว่าฉันชอบส้ม (Khao bok wa chan chop som)

When reporting a 'yes/no' question, 'rue plao' is more natural than simply using 'mai'.

Wrong: เขาถามว่าไปไหนไหม (Khao tham wa pai nai mai)
정답: เขาถามว่าไปไหนหรือเปล่า (Khao tham wa pai nai rue plao)

Next Steps
