เชญนง

Please sit down

Polite invitation for someone to take a seat

🌍

문화적 배경

When invited to sit with 'เชิญนั่ง', it is polite to slightly lower your head as you pass by others to show respect. In a meeting, wait for the highest-ranking person to say 'เชิญนั่ง' or to sit down first before you take your seat. If a monk says 'Choen nang' to you, you should sit on the floor or a lower chair than the monk if possible. Offering a seat is often followed immediately by offering a glass of water (Nam Yen).

🎯

The Palm Gesture

Always gesture with an open palm toward the seat when saying this. Pointing with one finger is considered rude.

💬

Wait for it

If you are the guest, wait for the host to say 'เชิญนั่ง' before sitting. It shows you have good manners (Ma-ra-yat).

Tone Matters

If you say 'Nang' with a flat tone, it might not be understood. Ensure the falling tone is distinct.

Yes, if you are gesturing to a chair, just saying 'เชิญครับ' (Choen krap) is very common and polite.

The phrase is still the same! 'เชิญนั่ง' applies to any act of sitting.

Simply say 'ขอบคุณครับ/ค่ะ' (Khop khun krap/ka) and then sit down.

Not really. It's a spoken phrase. In an email, you'd use 'ขอเรียนเชิญ...' for an invitation to an event.

Yes, if you pull out a chair for your date, saying 'เชิญครับ' is a very gentlemanly move.

'Nang' is the act of sitting. 'Nang long' emphasizes the downward movement. 'Choen nang' is the polite social formula.

Yes, it is very appropriate and shows great respect.

Friends might say 'นั่งดิ' (Nang di), which is very casual.
