💡

Tone Matters

Ensure the tone on thii is low so it doesn't sound like 'place'.

Review Summary

  • 0-9 + 10s
  • Number + Hundred/Thousand
  • ที่ + Number
  • Amount + บาท

Erros comuns

Twenty is a special case in Thai. It is 'yi-sip', not 'song-sip'.

Wrong: สองสิบ (Two-ten)
Correto: ยี่สิบ (Twenty)

Be careful with your tones! 'Roi' (hundred) has a different tone than 'Ron' (hot).

Wrong: หนึ่งร้อย (One hundred) -> ร้อน (Hot)
Correto: หนึ่งร้อย (Nueng roi)

Ordinal markers must come before the number. Placing it after changes the meaning to 'one quantity'.

Wrong: ที่หนึ่ง (First) -> หนึ่งที่ (One place)
Correto: ที่หนึ่ง (First)

Next Steps

You've conquered the numbers! Keep practicing your tones and you'll be shopping like a pro in no time.
