passa thai: lesson #2
it's that time again. time for another weekly lesson teaching the thai language. this week i figured you should learn one of the very first things i learned to say, "thank you". this is another good phrase to know because like i mentioned before the thai people are very kind and welcoming so it's good to know how to be polite. once again english phonetics can vary but thank you in thai is khop kun.
the way i remembered words sometimes is through association. for thank
you just remember cops and robbers. well robbers is a stretch but
raccoons look like little furry crooks and if you're from the deep south those
shadowy eyed creatures are called coons. so next time you want to say
thank you in thai just say cop coon. dont for get to add the polite particle. men would say khop kun krap and women would say khop kun ka. and remember thai is a tonal language so be sure to click the links to hear the phrase spoken. check back net thursday for another phrase
