  • Summary

  • I became interested in teaching Thai when I made friends with Miss Antoinette who happens to be a regular customer at the restaurant that I work in.  One day, Miss Antoinette told me she wanted to learn Thai.  I then started to teach Thai words and phrases to my customers.

    In this Episode, I teach you how to say, "sa-wad-dee".  Sa-wad-dee means Hello and goodbye.  The word "sa" rhymes with "ha".  The word "wad"  uses the "a" sound in "what".  The word "dee" rhymes with "me".

    I also teach you how to say, "sa-bye-dee-mai".  Sa-bye-dee-mai means How are you?  The word "sa" rhymes with "ha".  The word "bye" is exactly like the word "bye".  The word "dee" rhymes with "me".  The word "mai"  uses the "i" sound in "mine".

    The phrase "sa-bye-dee" means Feeling well, feeling fine.  When you add the word "mai" at the end, the phrase becomes a question.  How are you?  Example in a conversation:

    Person 1 = sa-bye-dee-mai?
    Person 2 = sa-bye-dee

    You do not have to say the word krub (rhymes with cup; uses with male speaker) or ka (rhymes with ma; uses with female speaker) at the end of the phrases.  They do not have any significant meaning, but rather to make the phrases sound more polite.  Make a habit of saying them.
