Review Summary
- Subject + kin + noun
- Subject + duem + noun
- Subject + sang + noun
- Noun + aroi
Erros comuns
In Thai, you must distinguish between eating food and drinking liquids. Use 'duem' for liquids.
You don't need to put 'eat' after 'order'. The verb 'sang' is sufficient.
While 'aroi' is correct, adding 'mak' (very) makes the sentence sound more natural and polite.
