VIDEO: Restaurant Conversation (How to Order Food)
I sometimes hear thais say “kaw” (not sure how this is written) instead of ao when ordering at the restaurant. However, you did not mention this in your video. Is it because “kaw” is not a correct word to use?
I love your videos. Your pronunciation and the speed at which you speak are excellent. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case in every day life. But “practice makes perfect” as the saying goes.
“ขอ kăw” can be used when making order as well. “เอา ao” is just less formal. Both words are interchangeable for placing food order.
But if you want to make a request “ขอ kăw” is used. For example; can I have a tissue please? in Thai would be ขอทิชชู่หน่อยครับ /kăw-tít-chûu nòi kráp/
Love your videos! Well done – instructive and entertaining at the same time.
I have a question that’s probably been answered somewhere already but I couldn’t find it.
I hear both
“Kuhn ”
“Kruh ”
Are these two different words or just a different pronunciation of the same?
Thank you for your comment. I am happy to hear that you found our videos useful in your Thai learning.
The word คุณ [khun] is put before first names or nicknames when refer to others, or when it is used as second or third person pronouns. It is used to address both males and females of similar or higher status in formal situation.
For example; Mr. Totsapol Thaitrong and Mrs. Suchanun Thaitrong will be known as Kun Totsapol and Kun Suchanun.
Don’t use คุณ [kun] before your own name when you refer to yourself.
As for the second word I assume that you are talking about the word ครู /kruu/. It means ‘teacher’, ‘instructor’.
My favorite of your videos. Well done and thank you!
