Build a Thai Sentence: I Have Two Children
3 views
Five words, one sentence
This short builds a whole Thai sentence from small blocks. The pieces: chan (ฉัน) I, for a woman, mii (มี) to have, dek (เด็ก) child or children, saawng (สอง) two, and khon (คน) the counter for people.
Line them up and you get a natural sentence meaning I have two children. Notice the order, and the way khon counts the people at the end, which is how Thai handles numbers of things.
Learning a few building blocks like these lets you make dozens of your own sentences, not just repeat set phrases. This short Thai reel puts them together step by step so you can swap in your own numbers and words.
