I have been teaching students from all over the world both in-person and online for almost ten years. There are a few common mistakes that my students keep making. In this lesson I am going to share three common mistakes that you need to stop making.

Hi Mod,
I’m just start learning Thai on my own, and i’m so grateful.because many videos teaching basic Thai is available on youtube. I have watched some.of the videos including your video on.youtube. Very helpful
However, i have tried many times to find the meaning of the word นั่นเอง ,
I know it is a particle and some website says it means “sure enough” etc. But i find the meaning does not suit well when i hear Thai speaker speaking the word นั่นเอง in their sentence.
Can you give me a little help by explaining the meaning and how to use it?
Thanks
นั่นเอง is used to emphasize a statement when you find out about something you had been looking for or find out the answer that you have been searching for. For example;
1) You always hear sound on the roof of your house but you don’t know what it is then one day you finally found out that it is a squirrel, then you would say กระรอกนั่นเอง! (Ah! it was squarel).
2) You get a mysterious letter from anonymous then later you found out that it was sent from a long lost friend called John then you would say จอห์นนั่นเอง (Ah! it was John).
I hope this helps.
thank you very much Kru Mod
I never make these mistakes
Well done! 🙂
