Sawatdee ka,
Congratulations and sympathy can be expressed by using the word ‘happy’ and ‘sorry’ and followed by the final particles ด้วย/dûai/
[1] Expressing sympathy
We say เสียใจด้วยนะ [sĭa-jai dûai ná]
เสียใจ /sĭa-jai/ means ‘to be sad’
ด้วย /dûai/ is a particle used when 1) telling someone to do something 2) expressing congratulations and sympathy
นะ /ná/ is the word used to soften statements.
[2] Expressing congratulations
We say ดีใจด้วยนะ /dii-jai dûai ná/ or ยินดีด้วยนะ /yin-dii dûai ná/
ดีใจ /dii-jai/ means ‘glad’
ยินดี /yin-dii/ means ‘to be pleased’, ‘to be happy’

Mod, please wear a paper bag over your head for future videos. You are too beautiful and I have trouble concentrating on what you say during the lesson.
Hi Mod,
Thank you for the lesson! I was wondering what the name of the song was in your video. It sounds like waai, but i’m not sure.
Please let me know whenever you get a chance.
Khop khun kuuub!
