The most commonly used phrase in Thai to say “thank you” is ขอบคุณครับ/ค่ะ (kop khun krap/ka). If you are a male speaker you would say ขอบคุณครับ (kop khun krap) and if you are a female speaker you would use the phrase ขอบคุณค่ะ (kop khun ka).
khop khun khrap. [phrase] definition. [spoken politely by a male] "Thank you."
In Thai, “thank you” is khàawp-khun. What is so unique about Thai is that you can add words at the end of the phrase to make it polite and formal or even to make it friendlier. To make it more polite and formal, we add one word at the end of the phrase. 2- ขอบคุณครับ Khàawp-khun khráp and ขอบคุณค่ะ khàawp-khun khâ.
Kap khun krap/ka: Thank You.
“Thank you” for men ⇒ Khob khun krub ขอบคุณครับ（kʰɔ̀ɔp kʰun kʰráp） “Thank you” for women ⇒ Khob khun ka ขอบคุณค่ะ（kʰɔ̀ɔp kʰun kʰâ）
The Rule: If you are male, you end sentences with the word (khrup/krap) similarly if you are female, you end your sentences with the word (ka/kap).
Krap and ka can be used in polite way to answer "yes" to a question. When they're used alone in response to a statement, they don't really mean anything except to signify you've heard and understood the statement and are still listening.
1 – Sawasdee kha/khap: Hello in Thai
Sawasdee can also be used to say good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good day, and even good bye. Women say 'Sawasdee kha', and men say 'Sawasdee khap'.
SAWADIKA. "Sawadika" for females and "Sawadikap" for male is a formal greeting of respect in the Thai culture. Our small dancers from our Children's Project wanted to send out some greetings to all our followers.
Simply, 'thank you' in Thai language is ขอบคุณ /khoob-khun/.
Say 'ká' or 'kráb' – to respond to a call. It is one of the mistakes that foreigners often make. In English, when somebody calls you, you would say “yes?” to respond. However, in Thai language, we don't say “yes ” or ใช่ /chây/, instead we use คะ /ká/ or ครับ / krâb/.
In both a formal and informal situation, Thai people greet each other with the word 'sawadee' followed by 'kah' for females and 'kraap' (soft r) for males.
Mr., Mrs., or Miss + family name are appropriate for visitors to use in formal situations. Thai given names are preceded by Khun (Mr. Mrs. or Miss), unless they carry a higher degree, such as doctor. Khun is used for men and women, married or single.
I am sad = sia jai (literally broken heart)
ทำใจ /tam-jai/ to control emotion , accept the fact, put up with something.
arai nia. [interjection, colloquial] definition. "What?!?" "What the heck is this!"
This is a phrase that is used to ask “How are you?” In casual situations, it can be a greeting similar to “What's up?” The response is easy. Simply remove the question word “Mai.” So if the waitress at a restaurant says to you, “Sabai dee mai kah,” you can respond with “Sabai dee kah/krup,” which means “I'm fine.”
Ka/krub (rhymes with ha/scrub) – This tiny little syllable is vital if you want to show respect and appreciation when you come to Thailand. If you're a female, you say “ka” and if you're a male, you say “krub”. It is basically the universal word for 'please' and 'thank you', and all politeness in general tied into one.
Royal Thai General System. chok di khrap. [example sentence, formal] definition. [spoken by a male] "Good luck!"
Do use “ka” and “krab” – If you are a woman, it is appropriate to end sentences or greetings with “ka.” For example, “sawasdee” is hello in Thai…as a woman, you would say “sawasdee ka.” If you are a man, your sentences should end with “krab,” so “sawasdee krab” is a proper hello.
