"Happy Birthday To You"—how "to say it in Thai.

HBD: สุขสันต์วันเกิด (Suk San Wan Kerd)

Sawattdii khrap (สวัสดีครับ). Hello, everyone. My name is Leng. Today I’m going to teach you the Thai sentence about saying the blessing “Happy Birthday To You.”

Do you have any Thai guy friends?

Do you know anyone in Thailand?

Or, do you make a living in Thailand?

If your answer was yes!

So, now! YES! It’s time for you to learn the popular “Happy Birthday To You” in Thai.

You can imagine how great it is if your friends, parents, boss, and colleagues, who are Thai, have the blessing from you in their native language!.

Let’s come to the lesson. If you want to say or write the word regarding making them impressive.

Such as this particular state for a birthday occasion.

You just say this sentence:

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด
sùk-săn wan gèrt
Happy Birthday!

If you want to identify to whom you are blessing, just add each vocabulary at the of the sentence, such as if you want to bless Happy Birthday to your friend, you just say,

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด เพื่อน
sùk-săn wan gèrt pêuan
Happy Birthday, My Friend

เพื่อน(pêuan) means friend

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด
sùk-săn wan gèrt
Happy Birthday!

Now, I would like to give you more sentences, and I am sure you will love these awesome Thai words.

Before we go there, at first I will teach you the Thai particles. Actually, Thai has many particles to add at the end of the sentences.

But, here, I will teach you the most useful in the daily life of speaking.

Khrap (Thai: ครับ) is a Thai particle to add at the end of the sentence. This is only for a male to use. (Sentence-ending word for male)

Kha (Thai: ค่ะ) is also one of the Thai particles to put at the end of the sentence. If you are female, you use Kha (Thai: ค่ะ), putting it at the end of the sentence. ( Sentence end word of female).

In brief, whenever you want to use the politeness Thai particles. Think only this.

Khrap (ครับ) is for male
Kha (ค่ะ) is for female

Now, I believe you can guess whether male or female is speaking the sentences as follows:

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด ครับ พ่อ
sùk-săn wan gèrt kráp pôr
Happy Birthday, Daddy.

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด ครับ แม่
sùk-săn wan gèrt kráp mâe
Happy Birthday, Mummy.

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด ครับ ที่รัก
sùk-săn wan gèrt kráp têe rák
Happy Birthday, Honey.

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด ครับ คุณ สมชาย
sùk-săn wan gèrt kráp, Khun Somchai.
Happy Birthday, Khun Somchai.

See more of these sentences below again. The new sentences are pretty similar to the above sentences, but they are different only in the particle of each sentence.

Shall we jump into it now?

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด ค่ะ พ่อ
sùk-săn wan gèrt khâ pôr
Happy Birthday, Daddy.

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด ค่ะ แม่
sùk-săn wan gèrt khâ mâe
Happy Birthday, Mummy.

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด ค่ะ ที่รัก
sùk-săn wan gèrt khâ têe rák
Happy Birthday, Honey.

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด ค่ะ คุณสมชาย
sùk-săn wan gèrt khâ khun somchai
Happy Birthday, Khun Somchai.

Now it’s time for me to share with you what Thai people usually do for their birthday circle.

↪Can you help me figure out what they do?

↪Right!

They will go to buy a birthday cake. They may write some special word on the cake topping, such as

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด
sùk-săn wan gèrt
Happy Birthday.

Or some kind of words like this:

สุขสันต์ วันเกิด ครบรอบ 30 ปี
sùk-săn wan gèrt króp rôp săam sìp bpee
Happy 30th Birthday, Circle.

Then, they will have a small party at home, or eat out, depending on their convenience.

During the party, when they have eaten for a while, the time is ripe. They will light the small party candles, which are putting on the topping of the birthday cake.

Then, it’s time for singing a Happy Birthday song.

After singing has done, they will blow out the candle lights, cutting the cake, and share with…

Additionally, they will say some words to please the birthday man. It’s some kind of speeches like this:

ขอให้ มี ความสุข มากๆ นะ ครับ/คะ
kŏr hâi mee kwaam sùk mâak mâak na kráp/ká
Have very, very much happiness!

The lyric of this song is singing… Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you,…
(How dull am I!!!! This is the song they sing everywhere for a Birthday party?)

OK, now it’s time for you to practice by speaking it out loud about 5-7 times or as you can say it!

Almost forgot it!

Perhaps, they will buy a birthday gift for the birthday guy. They usually buy it on their own and give it to him/her individually.

But, on some occasions, they will share the money and buy a special birthday gift and give it to...

For example,

I and some of my colleagues who are working in the same company used to buy the big bottle of beverage for the boss on his birthday circle last year.

Well, I hope everything goes well with you for reading my Thai language and some real-life happenings in the land of a smile there! Thailand.

Before I leave for today, I would like to tell you about the benefits you will gain from learning other languages. And why should it be Thai???

Why you should learn Thai specifically and how to get started. There are countless reasons, but perhaps the biggest one of all is that it could actually change your life.

How to change?

They said learning a new language unlocks new pathways that are off limits, as you knew. There are certain things that you simply cannot do without having the technical or cultural skills that come from learning a new language, like working or living in another country.

For instance, I had never known before that Mother’s Day is not the same date in every country. And what they usually do for this celebration. Till I have learned English and read the information and news from the internet.

Thanks to my teacher for teaching me English, and I’m glad I made my decision to start learning English a long time ago.

Knowing another language provides you with greater job opportunities; you have the freedom to move to another country halfway around the world and earn a living or, better yet, build a career from it instead of just being stuck in one place.

I used to work for the multinational companies that have invested their money and built huge manufacturing in Thailand.

Inside there, the top managerial levels are from their country of origin. They have very good benefits provided. Car, luxury condominium in the downtown area, tuition fee for their children, meal offering, and so on—yes, all those things, the company provides them.

Yet, I DON’T mention how high the salary they get paid is.

However, I think they deserve what they derive. That’s reasonable.

Some of those expatriates speak Thai much better than some Thai who live in the deep south of Thailand.

Wow! Triple times! I wish mine would be there one day! Sooner or later…

But why not now???

Gotta cry…

Well, the language allows you to visit or live in places that you may never have even considered.

Therefore, one of the best ways to invest in yourself is to learn another language.

Going and knowing the Thai language simply gives you more options to choose from and learning it as a new language. To do this also helps you to be more open-minded and see the world from a new perspective on language and culture.

Well, it’s time for me to say ลาก่อน (laa gòn).

See you next time.

Bye,

Thanks for reading.
See you next time.

Thanks for reading.
