Common Thai Conjunctions

Joining your sentences in Thai

Once you can link ideas, your Thai jumps to the next level. This short teaches intermediate conjunctions: tang...lae... (ทั้ง...และ...) both and, reu mai gor (หรือไม่ก็) otherwise, pror cha nan (เพราะฉะนั้น) therefore, ka na tee (ขณะที่) while, mae waa (แม้ว่า) even though, nok jaak (นอกจาก) besides, and taa...gor... (ถ้า...ก็...) if then.

These are what turn short, choppy sentences into flowing ones, so you can give reasons, contrasts and conditions. They are a natural step once the basics feel comfortable.

A few good conjunctions make you sound far more fluent. This short Thai reel lays out the intermediate ones so you can start connecting your ideas like a local.
