Useful Phrases

Asking for a recommendation: We say มีอะไรแนะนำคะ /mii à-rai náe-nam ká?/

มี /mii/ means ‘have, has’

อะไร /à-rai/ is “What?” question word

แนะนำ/náe-nam/ means “to recommend, to suggest/

It is understandable to say คุณแนะนำอะไร /kun náe-nam à-rai/ , but if you would like to sound like a Thai we use the phrase “มีอะไรแนะนำ /mii à-rai náe-nam/”.  It is also common to ask อะไรอร่อยบ้าง /à-rai à-rpi bâang?/ which is literally translated as What is delicious?

Using Classifier: When Pear orders 12 oysters and one plate of Sand and Surf, did you notice that there were classifier in those sentences? Watch this video lesson to learn more about Thai Classifiers.
