| Hello = "Sa Wat Dee" in Thai |
Ordinary, Thai people use the word "Sawatdee khrap/kha" [āļŠāļ§ัāļŠāļี āļāļĢัāļ/āļ่āļ°], meaning in Thai "Hello" for greeting each other. It is used by Thai people for saying greeting when they meet anyone, anywhere, and anytime.
Sawattdii khrap(āļŠāļ§ัāļŠāļีāļāļĢัāļ) Hello, everyone.
My name is Michael Leng. Today, I'm going to teach you the sentences for say as "Good morning, good afternoon and good evening" in Thai.

If you know some basic Thai words. So, this sentence is not too difficult to learn it will take only a few minutes.
Thais greet each other with a "wai(āđāļŦāļ§้)" while saying the words: "Sawatdee(āļŠāļ§ัāļŠāļี)"
It means Thai will not only say "Hello" but also do "wai(āđāļŦāļ§้)" as well. For instance, if you go to work, at 8.00 o'clock you meet one of your colleagues, you will say.
"Sawatdee Khrap(āļŠāļ§ัāļŠāļี āļāļĢัāļ)" and do Wai as well.
What's it? Quiz
Anyway, formally, Thai language has the particular word of greeting to say in the different of timing too. They are as below:
"Arunsawat khrap/kha"
āļāļĢุāļāļŠāļ§ัāļŠāļิ์ āļāļĢัāļ/āļ่āļ°
Good morning.
Alternatively, you can use another word as below instead too.
"Sawatdee tonchao krup/kha”
āļŠāļ§ัāļŠāļี āļāļāļāđāļ้āļē āļāļĢัāļ/āļ่āļ°
Good morning.
To say “Hello” in the afternoon, Thai people say:
"Sawatdee ton-klang-wan khrap/kha"
āļŠāļ§ัāļŠāļี āļāļāļāļāļĨāļēāļāļ§ัāļ āļāļĢัāļ/āļ่āļ°
Good afternoon.
What to say in the evening time? To say “Hello” in the evening time in Thai language, use follow state:
"Sawatdee ton-yen khrap/kha”
āļŠāļ§ัāļŠāļีāļāļāļāđāļĒ็āļ āļāļĢัāļ/āļ่āļ°
Good evening.
*Say "Lakon" = "āļĨāļēāļ่āļāļ (Goodbye) when they are about to leave.
I almost forget to tell one more thing, Thai use the word "Sawatdee = āļŠāļ§ัāļŠāļี" to say when they are about to leave (Goodbye) too.
Do not worry too much about the three of the greetings above. Just remember and use the only one word that would be fine.
You just say, "Sawatdee = āļŠāļ§ัāļŠāļี(Hello)", to greet and to say goodbye to Thai people. That would be all right.
"Khrap = āļāļĢัāļ" is no meaning, it is the Thai particle for adding at the end of sentences for anyone who is male to use in term of more polite.
If you are female, you just add the particle "Kha = āļ่āļ°" instead of at the end of sentences you speak.
Well, time is up again for today's posting. I hope you love our article.
Tip from Michael Leng:
Today's word "Hello" can be used in Thai for a short as well. It's "āļŦāļ§ัāļāļี(wà t dee)", but please remember, this is an informal word, you will use it only for someone you are so familiar with them...
Please give us any of your feedback, therefore, we will be able to know what you are looking for from us.
Again, before, I gotta go, if you have any idea about my post(s), do not hesitate to write your feedback at the of each my post. So that I will know what you really want to see what we should be looked like.
What's it? Answer
Anyway, if you see somewhere they use "Sawasdee" instead of "Sawatdee", don't worry which is the right word. Both of them can be used...

ReplyDeleteThis is wrong grammar.
āļŠ āļ§ัāļŠ āļี, sà -wà t-dee (Sor Suea, is not the first character, so it should be pronunced as a T, not S)
Thanks for your advice. if so, what is the letter should be used instead?
DeleteāļŠ āļ§ัāļŠ āļี, sà -wà t-dee.
ReplyDeleteSor Suea is an S, as the first consonant, but a T as a second consonant, like it is after Wor Wan.
Many Thai letters have a different sound, depending on whether the first or second consonant.
