Did you know that in Thai, one thing can have five different words?
00:04
Today, I present to you a Thai language short crash course.
00:08
The action eat has many levels and is used according to the person using it.
00:13
The first one, āļāļīāļ, which is used as an everyday word, polite and most common.
00:18
You might hear a Thai auntie ask you āļāļīāļāļāļ°āđāļĢāļĄāļēāđāļāđāļĒāļąāļ?
00:22
Which means, have you eaten yet?
00:24
The second is āđāļāļ, this is more on the ruder side,
00:27
often used among very close friends or probably mortal enemies.
00:31
So remember, don't use it.
00:33
Next is āļĢāļąāļāļāļēāļāļēāļ, this is polite and often used in settings
00:37
where you are speaking to someone older than you.
00:39
There's also a different word for eating when it comes to monks.
00:42
We do not say āļāļīāļ for monks, but we say āļāļąāļ.
00:45
And side note, monks in Thailand are only allowed to eat from sunrise to 11 a.m.
00:51
The last one is āļŠāļ§āļĒ, which is used exclusively for the royal family.
00:55
And who said learning Thai was hard?
