ð Grammar Tip: Negative + "Should" in Thai
To express that something shouldn’t happen, we use:
“āđāļĄ่āļāļ§āļĢ...” (mÃĒi khuan...) = “should not...”
You can use it with many verbs:
-
āđāļĄ่āļāļ§āļĢāļŠāļēāļĒ = shouldn’t be late
-
āđāļĄ่āļāļ§āļĢāļĢāļ = shouldn’t wait
-
āđāļĄ่āļāļ§āļĢāļŦิāļ§ = shouldn’t be hungry
To emphasize no one, we say:
“āđāļĄ่āļĄีāđāļāļĢ” (mÃĒi mii krai) = no one
