Key Learning Points:
- ngawn (งอน) = to sulk / the feeling that you are not pleased about what you are treated.
- mâi yawm + do something (ไม่ยอม + do something) = refuse to do something
- jàp dâai + action (จับได้) = discover/find out that something bad is going on
- ngáw (ง้อ) = make it up to someone when you know you have done something wrong
- paa + someone + bpai + do something/somewhere (พา + someone + ไป + do something) = take someone to do something/somewhere
- adjective + jà dtaai (adjective + จะตาย) = very/extremely + adjective (used for expressing opinion on something)
- mòd dtùud (หมดตูด) = to be broke
- tăng dtàek (ถังแตก) = to be broke
- tâa gèrd (ถ้าเกิด) = What if…
- tâa + sentence, subject + gâw-jà + verb (ถ้า+ ประโยค, ประธาน + ก็จะ + กริยา)
If + something happen, then + the other thing would happen

Hi, Mod! my name is Veronika. I’m from Russia. I study Thai language. Thank you for your lessons. My English is not very good, but I almost understand everything
Sawatdii ka Veronika, thank you for your comment. I am happy to hear that you found my videos useful in your Thai learning. Keep practicing. 🙂

HI Mod, i have been trying to read the Thai text above and cannot understand why the consonant (ค์) is in the sentence? Please help!
It is the way the word is spelled. In Thai language there are many words that come from other languages such as Pali, Sanskrit, English etc. Those words are spelled in accordance with the original word and therefore when it is written in Thai it has a silent letter.
Kru Mod
Thank you for this video. You teach us many words, however, the best is your explanation. You’re a natural.
Thank you
Sawatdee ka kun Michael, thank you for your kind words. I am happy to hear that you found my lesson useful. 🙂
Kru Mod;
Sawutdee krup; What is the meaning of “Chan leoi”
Thank.
“chan” is the personal pronoun ‘I’. The other word is actually “mai…leoi” meaning ‘not at all’, leoi at the end is used for the emphasis.
kao mai yawm rap toe-ra-sap chan leoi = she doesn’t want to asnwer my call at all.

sawutdee krup ,Pom kow jai Laaw
Korp kun mahk na krup.
Dear Mod,
Thank you for your useful teaching, both of you are great ครู! 🙂
I have 2 question to this lesson.
First it contacts this comment, โทรศัพท์ชั้น is express the possesion, that ” my call”, so theres no need for โทรศัพท์+ของ+ชั้น ?
Second its when you use first ถ้า, the second sentence theres no ก็จะ after the subject. In which cases shouldnt we use?
Thx!
Sawatdee ka Csaba,
I am sorry for my late response.
First answer, In spoken Thai the word ของ is often dropped.
Second one, Again this is spoken language. You will notice that in spoken Thai many words are dropped. We don’t say everything as in written Thai. ก็จะ is often dropped in casual conversation.
Hope this helps. 🙂
Thanks Mod. This lesson is useful. I enjoy to learn Thai with you so much. Thank you!
Thanks Mod. I enjoyed this lesson. As you said it is more difficult because of the new vocab with a lot of idiomatic expressions. Also some unusual pronouns and the more complicated use of the structures “iff … Then” and “Leow ….la”. Thank you.
What place you like in Bkk Mod to make dinner rûu rûu??
Hi Mod,
Did you get that transcription right?
Mod, tam yang-ngai dii à? มด ทำไงดีอ่ะ
I don’t see the “yang” in the Thai script…
That’s right. It was my mistake. ขอบคุณค่ะ 🙂

Mod, noonchai (Mink) jau chuu,mai dii,

Great to have more complex sentences, discussion and idiom like this!!!
Hey Mod,
Thats a great video and for me something i can learn from as i`ve been studying Thai for about 5 years now and i`m way past most of the stuff you teach but this video is right at my level i found it interesting and i it taught me 2 new words `jàp dâai` & `ngawn` so thank you very much !!
Why not change Dor Dek to `t`….
mòd dtùud (หมดตูด) mot dtuut
tâa gèrd (ถ้าเกิด) Taa gert
You change Gor Gai to `k`
tăng dtàek (ถังแตก)
Thanks James
Kru Mod…Thanks for another great lesson. You’re so generous with your time; sharing such great knowledge with us. Your lessons are always so useful and relevant. Great selection of words in this one and I like how it’s starting to get to a level where theres compound sentences with separate clauses. Really helpful when trying to learn to speak fluently…well, somewhat fluently. Thanks so much.

Very good Mod. This is just the level of language which I need. More please.
