Note: Thai language has its own script with 44 consonant letters, 15 vowel symbols that combine into at least 28 vowel forms, four tone diacritics, and an own set of numerals. There are many systems for transcribing Thai into the Roman alphabet. While some may be more approachable to foreign learners than others, they’re surely all not flawless.
Theย phonemic transcription system used here is not officially recognized, unfortunately not always consistent and certainly not flawless either but, in our opinion, comes as close to the original sound as possible. Please scroll down on this extensive page to hopefully find just what you’re looking for.

In Thai, there are no reflexive or other personal pronouns, but possession may be indicated by the particle kho:ng. Subject pronouns are frequently omitted, often with nicknames of the speakers used instead.
| Personal Pronouns | Thai Personal Pronouns |

can you tell me what is meant by the phrase ‘ Ya Ma Jung Kab Chan Jung Yu’ . thanks
Not sure if I read your transliteration correctly but I would say: “Don’t bother me, I’m still busy.”
What does chun gierd tur mean?
Sorry to say it but I guess that’s “I hate you”.
Hi, can you translate for me what’s the meaning of “doo nom dai na?” Thank you!
“doo” = see/look, “nom” = milk, woman’s breast, “dai” = can. The particle “na” is used to make a request in a soft and persuasive manner. I think someone is suggesting your boobies need some fresh air. Would that make sense in the given context?
can you pleasa tell me what the meaning of this…mai pen rai ka..chai ka p’
“mai pen rai” means as much as “you’re welcome”, “never mind”, “no problem” etc. “chai” means “yes”. The particle “ka” at the end of a phrase doesn’t really mean anything but is used by female speakers to indicate a polite level of speech. When used on its own “ka” means as much as “yes”. (The equivalent for male speakers is “krab”.)
I love Thai language and this site has helped me a lot in my further conversations with my Thai friends
Can I ask you what is “mai groad tae mau leum in English.Thanks.
Struggling a bit with your transliteration but I guess it’s something like “I’m not angry but won’t forget about it.”
Can you explain to me these…
mai..
thur thuk tee sud..
yang ne..
chan bokwa..
thur thong thi sud..
Mai- no
Tur thuk tee sood- tee sood is very much/endless
Yang ne – yang is yet. Eg: mee fรฆn ler yung? Have girl fren yet? Yang mai mee. Yet to have.
Chan bok wa- chan is me/i, bok is say. “I said,…” wa is used with continuation. “Chan bok wa, khun suay mak na”
Thanks for your input. “tee sood” or “thi sud” signalizes the superlative form of an adjective, like “best” or “biggest”. “tur” is you. I’m not sure about “thuk” and “thong” though; depends on how you would pronounce and write it in Thai?
“yang ne” … could also be “yaang nee” (translation of which would really depend on the context)?
What does this mean in English : “suay tee sood ja”?
“suay tee sood” = “most beautiful”. suay = beautiful. “tee sood” signalizes the superlative form of an adjective. “ja” doesn’t really mean anything but just makes it sound more “sweet”.
Thanks alot. Now I would like to know what does “rak khun khon deaw” means in English?
It’s “(I) love only you”. rak = to love, khun = you (polite speech level), khon diao = only/alone. The first-person subject (which would be “pom” or “chan” = I) can be omitted when the context is obvious as in face-to-face conversation.
Thank you for all your responses. I would like to know the meaning of all these:
1. Law tee sood
2. Kob kuhn mak ja! Kuhn suay nid noi duay
3. Jai rai mak but still rak na
4. Narak tee Sood. rak duay
If that’s a small dialogue I would translate it as follows:
1. (You are) most handsome.
2. Thank you very much. You’re also a little beautiful.
3. and 4. are a bit messed up but I think this is what you mean:
3. (You have a) very bad heart … but I still love you.
4. (You are) most lovely. Love you too.
Thanks a lot.
I just fucked up a conversation with a girl I like. I wanted to ask something else but came up with the wrong way of asking it. Can you please suggest me a Thai song to apologize to her. Please post a YouTube likelike. I don’t know if she will forgive me. But I just want to apologize to her.
Did you tell her you like mussels and milk? Lol. Sorry mate, don’t know any Thai song for that occasion. Why don’t you just explain to her (in English I mean) that you’re still learning and your Thai isn’t 100% yet? Thais will be more forgiving and accept silly mistakes if they know you’re still a beginner. Good luck!
you are so awesome! how did you get so good in thai? I find it so difficult to even remember stuff because of the their diffrent letters.
Can you tell me what this means:
Suk san wan gur poo bum! Kit tung na ka
Thank you so much!
Thanks Martina. I’ve learned Thai initially through writing love letters in Thai to an ex-GF of mine in the late 90s. I virtually copied the words from the dictionary to my letters. After a while you remember the most frequently used letters automatically ๐ It was only much later that I visited a school and I must say I didn’t really learn anything new there …
Re: your question – “kid tueng” means “miss you” (“na ka” is for female speakers and just makes it sound more polite.) It’s a common phrase used at the end of letters and so. “suksan” means “happy”; “wan” is “day”. But I’ve got no clue either what “gur poo bum” should mean. Sure you got that right? “suksan wan goed/gurd”, for example, would be “happy birthday” in Thai.
Wht is sa tai ni ton pi???
I guess you mean “sa-taa-nee tor bpai” which you may frequently hear on the BTS? It’s “next station” in English. “sa-taa-nee” means station (e.g., sa-taa-nee rot fai = railway station) and “tor bpai” means “next”.
I know I’m getting the piss taken out of but can someone tall me what Hun ton means. Thanks
This is the latest thing. Hum ton non nai mak kue kuen. Thanks
Haha, I’m no expert in sexual slang but “ham ton” (or “hum ton”) means something like big dick or big balls, pretty much the same as “ham yai”. I’m not sure about the rest of your sentence though, sorry.
Hey how goes it? So i started talking to a university student… and things have naturally progressed i guess, she appears to be lovely and we are happy. I noticed that i was the subject of talk on an occasion so i translated what had been said but i was unsure of one of the comments as google translated it terribly and i didn’t quite like the translation. This is what was said (เนเธฎเนเธขเธขเธขเธขเธขเธญเธฑเธฅเนเธฃเธฃเธฃ เธขเธฒเธเน) google translates this to (Hoy of an al- profit so hard rubber .) which if you ask me, doesn’t look good. Do you think this is accurate?? thanks for your reply in advance.
The first word is “hia”, a popular swearword/insult that literally means “monitor lizard”. You can hear that all the time especially with the younger generation but you better don’t try it yourself. I’m not sure about the rest of your sentence but looks like internet slang to me.
Thanks for the reply… out of the context it might seem odd. a friend was making a joke about her being a foreigners wife and this was the reply she gave them. I see, thanks for your time
On the BTS or MRT, one often hears a recorded voice repeat a phrase which translates as “Please mind the gap between train and platform.” Could you please give me the phonetic Thai pronunciation of that phrase? I’ve heard it a million times and still haven’t memorize it.
Sorry Rael, I know what phrase you mean (“prod …”) but haven’t got it in my head right now either ๐
What is success in thai language
success = kwaan sam-ret, to succeed/achieve success = prasob kwaam sam-ret
Can anyone please tell me how the colon in some of the examples above (such as “accident – ubati-he:t”) relates to pronunciation?
Is it some kind of tone/accent shift, or maybe a very brief pause/stop?
Thai to English transliteration is unfortunately not that easy (German with all its umlauts is actually much more suitable to transcribe Thai.) There are some standardized transcription systems but I don’t like either of them very much. Anyway, the colon as I use it is supposed to signalize a long vowel, i.e. “he:t” is to be pronounced more like “hate” rather than “het” (short vowel) but it doesn’t have that ay- or ey-sound as in “hate”. English actually doesn’t have an equivalent letter/sound, making it difficult to transcribe.
Hi, I was just wondering if you could help me out with Bar etiquette. Is there a was to say “Thanks” in a less formal way than Khorb khun khrab. Thanks
Not sure but I often shorten it to a half-mumbled “khrab” myself which seems to be acceptable but obviously isn’t correct Thai? ๐
What does Kon sow means?
“kon” appears to be “khon” which means “people”, “man”, “human being” etc. But we need more context to translate “sow”. It could mean various things including “sad” or “young girl”.
May I know what is the meaning when a Monk saying “mao” when praying for people in temple?
Sorry but you’ve got me there …
Sorry I don’t understand what you mean?
I mean I don’t know the answer to your query. Apologies!
Hello. Can you help me with what tun tun mean?
Sorry but I have no idea.
Hi. Can you please write ‘Chan bok wa, khun lao mak’ in Thai language ๐
Thank you so much
No sorry I can’t, no Thai keyboard here.
Hi, mind to translate it ‘Poochai mang hea took khon’?
From what I understand that means as much as “all men are monitor lizards (hia)”, and that’s a seriously bad insult …
Can you translate “Ther pen khrai ror” in english.
“Who are you?”
Thank you!:)
Could you please help me by telling what “tirak non lab lor?” Means
“Are you sleeping/can you sleep, darling?” TIRAK means “darling” – that’s essential Thai vocabulary ๐
“chan rak khoon maak nak mai mee kham waa saa maata thi baai waa chan rak khoon khaae nai” can you help me? what does words mean?
“I love you very much. There are no words that can explain how much I love you.”
what does it mean pom ram kahn khun in english?
It means as much as “I feel annoyed by you”, “I’m (really!) tired of you” etc. Not necessarily a polite way of telling your dialogue partner to get lost.
thank you! ๐
Can you please tell me what “glaeng noo nak mak” means? Thank you
Sorry but I’m not sure about the first word so can’t really make any sense of the full sentence. “noo” could be “rat/mouse” or a personal pronoun young Thais, especially females, frequently use to refer to themselves. “nak mak” (or “nak maak”?) could mean “very heavy” but i really can’t say for sure.
Why do Thai people always end a sentence with ‘Na p’ . I know it doesn’t really mean anything but the ‘p’ is for?
Not quite sure what “p” you mean”? You mean the “pee” Thais often use when they refer to themselves or others and that means as much as older brother/sister, or simply “I”, “me” or “you”?
Okay thank you so much!
What do the folloeing mean, used in txting
I pwd khi
I pour k
Sorry but absolutely no idea, never seen that.
What’s the mean of ‘i mi di mi rak you leaw. And ‘i tam pit yek’ ?
I think this combined with some english in it .
Not sure about your transliteration but the first one sounds like “I’m not good, I don’t love you anymore.” Not sure about the second one either but “tam pid” is to do wrong, so it’s somehow about who is right and who’s wrong…
Hello! Would you mind explaining the phrase “Yim khun tam hai jai la lai” to me? ๐
As much as “your smile makes my heart jump for joy” ๐
Can you please provide translation for the phrase:
“Gor-dok Gor-dek”. I understand it’s slang for the oncoming of an erection, but what is the literal translation and are you able to provide the phrase in Thai script please? Thank you.
Sorry mate, can’t really translate this literally and can’t type Thai either on the machine I’m using. “Dek” might be “child/children”. But I guess that, as often in Thai slang, it’s all just there rather for the sound than an actual meaning.
OK thanks, appreciate your reply. I guess it refers to something sprouting up or growing. As you say it’s probably used for the sound. Will ask around more when I go back, cannot find it on any of the Thai language sites for slang or idioms, but most girls seems to know it, and usually always gets a good reaction. ๐
Haha that’s so sweet, thank you ^^
when drunk my friend always says nam sai what does it mean
Literally translated, “nam sai” means “clear water”. But I guess it may also have an idiomatic meaning I’m not familiar with. Sorry.
Can you please tell me what the following meaning thanks
1. lor ren na
2.chan ru wa kun me fan leaw
3.deaw fan kun ma ying pom
4.chan pud tit talok
2. I know that you’ve already got a boyfriend/girlfriend.
4. I am joking.
I’m not sure about 3. but it could be “Now your boyfriend/girlfriend will come and shoot me (male speaker).” Not sure about 1. either.
Can anyone help translate? Thanks a lot !
1.pha nak ngan
2.som si
3.som chay
1. staff, employee(s)
2./3. “pa-som si” would be “to mix/combine colours”, otherwise I’ve got no idea at the moment. Not sure about “som chay” either. I mean, Somchai is a popular Thai male name (the most popular one actually) but I guess that’s not the correct answer …
What does Luk Ter na mean?
“Luk ter” = “Love you” ๐ “na” doesn’t really mean anything but simply reinforces the message.
Hi,what does Mai kui gan loey means ?
To “not talk to each other at all.”
What is khun Ku day?
*Duay, not day
I’m not sure. “Khun kru” could be “teacher”. “Duay” means as much as “also” but it really depends on the context.
Can anyone translate this.. thanks a lot
Look saw ha
Mae pom rak khun mae
Faan dii na
Ratree sawad
“look saw” = daughter, “ha” could be “to look for” or “five” (not sure)
“mae pom rak khun” = my mother loves you (no idea what the second “mae” should mean in this context)
“fan dii na” = sleep well
“ratree sawad” = good night
react man jud mo. What does it mean
No idea at all. That doesn’t even look like Thai??
May I know how to write ‘thank you, you’re more beautiful’ in Thai? Is it khop khun ka you kor suay gwaa?
“Khob khun ka/krab [depends on whether you’re female/male?], khun suay gwaa.” Sorry but I cannot type it in Thai here.
I’m female, yup that’s what I wanted to type but not in thai language! Thank you so much for your reply!! Appreciate it, love your page! It taught me a lot more. I’ve been prepping myself to take up for Thai lessons. Thank you ๐
What does “see arai na kab kaur” means? Thanks alot
Sorry but I cannot make sense of it.
Can you advise what does “poopeh/poopey” means? Or could it be a place in Thailand?
Sorry but I’m really not sure. There’s a restaurant with that name at Jomtien so it could be just a name?
Thanks for your response! By jomtien you mean near to Pattaya right? I tried to search online but couldn’t find it. Is it a normal dining restaurant or bar or gogo bar, anything like that? Also, “I want to poo” does this mean anything to you in context with the previous qn i asked?
Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it.
Nothing to do with “to poo” as in English ๐ Thinking about it again, I think it’s actually a bar on Jomtien Soi 7, not a restaurant, that I was thinking of.
Went to search and found pupay. Not too sure what kind of bar it is though but thanks a lot for your help!
I’m guessing it might not be the bar as I got the word typed as poopeh, not that i can find anything online ๐ “we go poopeh” and “but i wanna poo” was thinking if it was anything sexual related
its means FAT mate
the girls call my mate it all the time
That’s actually POMPUI, named after the canned fish in tomato sauce brand you can buy at 7-Eleven. One of the Pattaya slang words words that aren’t even “proper” Thai and never existed until the 1980s, or so a former teacher once told me. (Your interpretation might still have hit the bull’s eye?)
Hello! So I see you are an awesome expert! I am wondering if you have any good way to start studying thai, but the thing is that I am already Thai and can understand the language, but i’m just having troubles with actually doing the talking and writing. Would you have an idea of what I should do? Thank you ๐
So you are a Thai but grew up abroad or so? I would say that in your case only practice helps, i.e. talk as much as you can to other Thais. Reading a lot of Thai might also help you develop your writing skills?
Can u translate please.yahk bpen hai mag wani,yahk bpen khon tite tongka.searching for this song but never found it.khun khrap
The second part (“yaak bpen khon tee ter tongkaan”) means “I want to be the one that you want.” Could it perhaps be this Thai song from a couple of years ago? Just an idea…
What does chob chai mark mean?
“chob jai maak” {I guess you mean “jai”, not “chai”) means as much as “to like/be pleased with/amused at something very much.”

2. “no problem, better save the money, darling.”
3. “Is darling angry?” = “Are you angry?”

5. “This month Poy will work a lot.”
6. “I think next month I cannot go.”
8. “Poy is also saving money.”
9. “but I will have a 10-day holiday in Korea.”

I’m not sure about 7. “sung sai” though.
