In + time = อีก (เวลา) [eek (velaa) ] For example: In 3 days = อีก 3 วัน (eek saam wan) In 10 min = อีก 10 นาที (eek sib naatee) In 2 years = อีก 2 ปี (eek sorng bpee) To speak like Thais, we mostly put the word “อีก(เวลา)” at the first part of sentence instead of put it at the end of sentence. ———- To enquire for “Thai Private Lessons” both online and face-to-face lessons, please contact: [email protected]; visit our website www.btthai.net

The nature of Thai language: some Thai words are used differently when Thais use in polite/formal way and casual way/daily life conversation. Mostly, you will see it obviously when you compare between words in conversational Thai and in writings or signs. Here are some examples:

1) So = (เลย loey) & [จึง jueng]

2) Wait a minute = (แป๊บนึง bpaeb nueng) & [สักครู่ sak kroo]

3) Although = (ถึง tueng) & [ถึงแม้ว่า tueng mae waa]

4) Eat = (กิน gin) & [ทาน taan, รับประทาน rab bpra taan]

5) Money = (ตังค์ dtang) & [เงิน ngern]

6) Purse = (กระเป๋าตังค์ grabpao dtang) & [กระเป๋าเงิน grabpao ngern]

7) Change = (ตังค์ทอน dtang torn) & [เงินทอน ngern torn]

Talking about weather in Bangkok in September 2022. You may learn some sentences or words from this message. visit our website www.btthai.net

The word “FOR” in Thai you can use in various words in Thai language namely: hai (ให้), samrab (สำหรับ), puea (เพื่อ). It is used in different contexts to refer to “For”. But when “for” in the context that is related to “period of time” you spend to do something, in Thai language we use “Bpen velaa (เป็นเวลา) to refer to FOR” in formal way/writing version….. But in casual way/daily life conversation Thais just “SKIP the word FOR in the sentences” So, if you want to say “I lived in Bangkok for 7 years = Pom yoo tee Krungthep 7 bpee (ผมอยู่ที่กรุงเทพฯ 7 ปี) …… In term of showing that you still have been doing something now and maybe still happen in the future, you can just “add the word “LAEW แล้ว” at the end of sentences. For example, “I have been living in Bangkok for 7 years = Pom yoo tee Krungthep 7 Bpee LAEW (ผมอยู่ที่กรุงเทพฯ 7 ปี แล้ว) ….. visit our website www.btthai.net

Gwua means “more than” it is usually added after the number to show that “he/she cannot identify what exactly the number but they surely know it is more than the number they have mentioned” ….. visit our website www.btthai.net

Two more meanings of Riabroy are: 1) work very well very well-organised about work, 2) neat character or people who are polite, gentle, and never do crazy things For Examples: 1.1 Panakngaan mai kon-nee tamngaan riabroy maak. 2.1 Khao riabroy maak mai koey tam arai piren-piren rog 2.2 Khao doo bpen kon riabroy na, tae jing-jing laew, maichai loey. ….. visit our website www.btthai.net

The word "Riabroy (เรียบร้อย)" means "finish without any problems" 

You can use this word in any contexts, for examples:

1. Riabroy! or Riabroy laew! = Done! (without any problems, no more to do it again)

2. Riabroy, yang?  = Finish, yet? (without any problems during the processes, right?) 

3. Riabroy, mai?   = It is finished without any problems, right? OR Is it OK now? Do I need to do another thing?

.

.

To apply in daily life conversation:

4. Torn-nee, chan gamlang song ekkasaan tam Visa yoo ka, tae yang mai-riabroy loey    

= Now, I am about to submit the document to do the Visa, but have not finished yet, still have to submit another document or do more things.

5. Wan-nee, chan song ekkasaan tam Visa riabroy laew ka!   

= Today, I completely finished submitting the document for the Visa, no more to submit other things again.  ….. visit our website www.btthai.net
