Hi everyone,
From my last post we learned how to say hello in Thai, so let’s continue from there. Let’s begin your first Thai conversation with this nice and lovely greeting question .
sà-baai-dii mái? (สบายดีมั้ย?) means ‘How are you?‘ or to translate directly to English it means ‘Are you fine?‘
The response to sà-baai-dii mái? is sà-baai-dii (สบายดี) which means ‘I am fine’
and as always please finish the sentence with polite particle;)
Now you can start greeting your Thai friends with Thai greeting.
