💡

Context is King

Always check if you are talking about a living being or an object.

When in doubt

If you don't know the classifier, 'อัน' is a safe bet, but 'ใบ' is better for flat things.

The 7-Eleven Trick

If you forget the specific classifier, 'an' is the safest backup for small objects.

Review Summary

  • Noun + Number + Classifier

자주 하는 실수

In Thai, the classifier comes after the number, not before.

Wrong: ใบสามแอปเปิ้ล
정답: แอปเปิ้ลสามใบ

'Took' typically follows the noun it modifies.

Wrong: ทุกแอปเปิ้ล
정답: แอปเปิ้ลทุกใบ

Add the classifier to 'bang' to make it sound natural.

Wrong: แอปเปิ้ลบ้าง
정답: แอปเปิ้ลบางใบ
