VIDEO: 5 Words You Must Not Mispronounce!

Saturday January 18, 2020 by Mod 63 Comments

This lesson we are talking about words for everyday life that we often hear Thai language learners mispronounce. If you mispronounce these words, it might change the meaning to an offensive word or impolite word, so we would like you to be careful when saying these five words!

  1. ขวา /kwăa/ = right
  2. คอย /kawi/ = wait for , and เคย /keoi/ = ever, have done something before
  3. หิมะ /hì má/ = snow
  4. มวย /muai/ = boxing
  5. นอนหลับ /nawn làp/ = sleep

Answer to the listening exercise:

1.ประเทศไทยเคยมีหิมะไหม

/bprà-têet tai keoi mii hì-má mái/

Does it ever snow in Thailand?

 

2. คุณคอยใครอยู่

/kun kawi krai yùp/

Who are you waiting for?

 

3. มีหมาอยู่ทางซ้าย มีควายอยู่ทางขวา

/mii măa yùu taang sáai, mii kwaai yùp taang kwăa/

There is a dog on the left side, there is a water buffalo on the right side.

 

4. ฝึกมวยไทยช่วยให้คุณนอนหลับดี

/fùek muai-tai chûai hâi kun nawn-làp dii/

Training Thai boxing helps you sleep well.

 

5. แฟนเขาไม่อยากหลับนอนกับเขา

/faen káo mâi yàak làp-nawn gàp káo/

His/her lover doesn’t want to sleep with him/her.

    Hi mod, your lessons are superb!

    Can I suggest some idea for a future topic??

    It would be fun if your followers and fans could send you different questions and then you would pick like 10 or 15 and answer them in a video. In thai and English maybe.

    Keep it up!

    It’s interesting how a “word” can be considered a bad word in one language to the point of a being Unspeakable! But in another language the same word can either mean something so different or just seem like a funny sounding word. I guess it really shows that there are really no bad words. Bad Thoughts, Bad Intentions, but no bad words.

            We come here to learn thai language anyway..

            I think the point was that since you visit seaside areas so often, some occasional bikini photo (if not video) would make a nice bonus to your reviews, since you look so fit. No hard feelings, kru Mod. . 🙂

            Ok, but you do wear bikinis when you go swimming? Just curious. Because when I visited Thailand most of local girls & women there didn’t wear bikinis on beach or pools. Some even wore t-shirt in the water. I was quite surprised.

    Hii mod, sorry for off topic question but… how long did it take to become so elastic?? Some of your yoga poses are crazyyy! Is it from yoga training or you do some additional exercise?

    Also, does it help you in the bedroom activities too? All those poses you can make. I bet your husband likes it hihi :)))))

        My suggestion would be a lesson about body parts, if possible including the following:
        – eyes
        – nose
        – stomach
        – bellybutton
        – butt
        – breasts
        – foot
        – ears

        You could just show that part of your body and tell the term.
        Keep up the good work!
