Thai Language for English Speakers: Beginner & Novice+ Unit 1

1. Introduction to Thai for English Speakers: Welcome to tie for English speakers on a beginner or intermediate level unit one. My name is Dan Orville. The goal of this class is threefold. Number one, I want to teach you the basics of tie, and that includes the tones which are incredibly important. We're going to look at phonetics. It's a phonetic language as well, their phonetics and there are tones and the Thai language. You got to have both. We'll look at vocabulary and we'll also do basic grammar and sentence structure, not a lot. It'll just happen naturally, it will just happen organically as we go along. Number two, I want to teach you how to flip switch and think and talk in Thai. Now flip the switch. That's a term I came up with myself to explain to myself what was happening. So I want you to think back when two maybe you are a teenager and you and your friends are running around. You're out in the, I don't know, out in the woods, out in the streets playing hockey or whatever it was you did as a kid. And you're having a great time and you're all talking amongst yourselves, you and your mates, you and your friends, use a certain type of vocabulary that you use when you're with your friends. Now let's say that one of your friends says, Hey, my mom made chocolate chip cookies. And so let's all go over and get chocolate chip cookies at my house. Fine. Everybody is up for that. And off you go and you run in the front door and who's there? Your friends, grandparents driven long ways. They're all dressed up there sitting in the living room, and they're all chatting and they've got their tea out or whatever. You will automatically flip the switch. You will speak differently to your friends, grandparents. Then you do to your friends. You'll use different words. They use different sentence structure. There'll be things that you would never say in front of your friends, grandparents, or your friend's mother, that you'd say to your friends. You get your chocolate chip cookies, you're out the back door, your backyard doing whatever you're doing, and your language flips again. You flip that switch in your head and you're talking to your friends and your own special way. That's exactly what happens when you switch between languages. You've had this experience, maybe not with a foreign language, but in your own, It's a really cool thing to have happen. That's one of our goals here in this class, is to help you learn how to flip that switch. And to do that, what we're gonna do is what I call crack the code. I decided I was gonna go to Thailand and then went to Thailand. And I lived there for a couple of years and I struggled hard to learn the language and I just had a rough time with it. And I finally came up with a system which I called crack the code that allowed me to start assimilating that language. It allowed me to start thinking and tie. It allowed me to flip the switch, just like I was able to do when I was a kid with my buddies. This was the system that helped me flip that switch and I had to name it something I just called it crack the code. So this is it. Listen to the lessons. Repeat out loud as I'm talking, as the Thai instructors are talking, if I say something to you, Let's just say so at the top. If I say so what the cup, guess what I want you to say. So what they cop and I want you to say it out loud. Unless of course you're a female, then you're going to say so what they can. And that's going to be in one of the early lessons, Okay? I want you to read everything that's on the screen as best you can. I'm going to write everything in Thai script. I'm going to write everything in a Romanized version of tie. I'm gonna write everything in English. Then I want you to get a journal. I want you to write down everything that you learn. And then I want you to repeat it, repetition and routine. The third point is to turn you into a self-guided tie learning machine. The point is to teach you how to teach yourself the Thai language. Now, I do have to tell you this. I can't make any guarantees. The reason why is because I have no idea what your commitment level is. I have no idea what your dedication level is. I have no idea of what your aptitude level is. I have no idea how much you desire this. I'm happy to show you the way, but it's a path that you have to walk. If you want to speak Thai. This is the course you want to choose. Dan speaks the tie very well, but he also provides native speakers to speak it so you understand the dialects and accents to make you sound more authentic. And also they speak it at slow rates, medium rates and fast rate. So you can hear it conversationally or you can hear it pronounced slowly so you understand the diction. So I highly recommend this course. Anyone's wanting to speak Thai, I think this is gonna be the course you're going to want to choose. Who is this class for? Is the question, well, it's for people who speak English, who wants to speak Thai, is for people who are looking for a clear path for learning. A lot of people have been trying to learn tie on their own for a long time and they rolling along with no direction. This Skillshare class gives you a clear path to follow if you are really ready to do it. This class is for you. So who is this class not for, not for advanced students. It's not for people who want to learn 500 words and 15 min. You know, the point is, going slower is better. We're building a strong foundation, not a house of cards. You put 500 words in your head and 15 min. And they fall over, right? People who are not prepared to dig in this class is going to take some commitment on your part. These are the benefits of the class as I see them. Number one, I give you permission to be bad. Now you may say to yourself, I don't need your permission. And you might say to yourself, I don't need your permission to be bad. I can be bad all on my own. Absolutely right. Good for you. You have to be bad before you can be below average and you have to be below average before you can be okay. And you have to be okay before you can just be average if your average for a while but you keep working at it pretty soon. You're above average and keep working at it and then you're good. And if you're good for a while and you keep working on it, then you become real good. And if you're real good and you keep at it, then you become way above average. And if you become way above ravaged, then you can become great. But it's a process as say, step by step by step. And I really want to encourage you to enjoy where you are in the language. If you keep looking down the road instead of where you are, you miss where you are. Now, I also give you permission to progress at your own pace. Now once again, you may say I don't need your permission for anything and you're absolutely right. But for those of you who want somebody to give you permission to be bad and wants somebody to give you permission to go slowly or work at your own pace. I gave you that permission. There's a banjo proverb that says, the slower you practice, the faster you play. I have seen this bear out time after time after time, building that strong foundation. One block, one brick, one word at a time, one note at a time. If you build a super strong foundation when it comes time to perform, you can. Number three, the third benefit that you're going to get out of this is you'll learn the language that you're actually going to use. And why do I know this? I and three linguistics professors worked on this. Two of them, heatmaps, the Thai language. That means they went through every word of the Thai language and ranked at by US. This was a multi-year study. The process of getting the heatmap for the words. They also got a heatmap for which sentences are used the most. And so we took the two heatmaps and we compare them words and sentences. And then I also said, well expediency, I know that takes me to the hospital is not a very common word, but as a very expedient. So we gave some gravity to those kinds of words to. So taking that, that's the path that you follow. The words that are most common, that are used the most are the words you learn first, there'll be more units as we go along. And as we go along, we will follow the path of this heat map. So you're always learning the very next thing that you need to learn in theory. Now this is not a reading and writing class, although I do have a Thai alphabet game here on Skillshare that I suggest you go play. You will become acquainted with the Thai alphabet during the course of this class as is appropriate. You may feel this as dubious or not necessarily a benefit, but I certainly do. You and I have a connection because I speak English. You and I are on the same path. I may be a little further down the path, but I walked the same footsteps that you are walking. I know your struggle. I absolutely believe the best way to learn to speak Thai is to be born in Thailand. To tie speaking parents. Know if you can't manage that, this is the second best way I can relate to you and share things that other people might not think about sharing because they didn't go the same path that you and I are have, have gone, which is learn the language as adult English speakers. You'll learn how to crack the code. Now, I shared with you a method that enabled me to think and tie. And I absolutely believe that you have to be able to think and tie before you can really talk in Thai. Because if you're thinking in English and you're trying to cherry pick words out of your English sentence and then replace them one at a time. And then get that word out of your mouth and formulate a sentence and how you are lost. My friend. I mean, there's a certain amount of having to do that at the beginning. But thinking and tie flipping that switch. Best, that's the secret. Okay, and I'm here to help you do that. 2. Get The Most Out Of Each Lesson: Best practice for using this class. Do the lessons in order twice before moving on to the next lesson, first-time through. Watch it. Listen, just let it run. But repeat that loud as it talks, as I say, a D cup. If you're a man, you're going to say, so what the cop? If you're a woman, you're gonna say. So what if I say bending? I want you to say binning, I bond. If I continue talking, maybe you can back it up in here what I said. But whenever I say anything in Thai, I want you out loud to repeat what I said. When one of the instructors says something in Thai, I want you to repeat after that tie instructor. The second time you go through each lesson, we're going to play each lesson twice. The second time through I want you to watch it and listen and repeat it out loud. But I want you to take notes. Now, whenever the person says whatever the sentences, Let's make up a sentence. Lacuna, Cup, bidding, eyeball, okay? And you, How are you doing? And you, How are you doing? That's what six words. I want you to write out the sentence. And then I want you to write out each word in Thai script, perhaps definitely Romanized tie, and definitely English. Now you've been through this lesson twice. You've heard me say the word ten times. You've heard the three-times structures each say at ten times. That's all. I'm going to say 40, maybe 50, 50, maybe 20. I don't know the actual number. Okay. But you've now said that word 20 times or 30 times, whatever it is, that word has come out of your mouth 30 times. And now you've looked at it as u has gone in your ears. It's come out of your mouth. That's gone through your ears again, it's come out of your mouth. And now you've looked at it. It's gone in your eyes, not just your ears. It's now gone in your eyes and has gone out of your mouth. And now you're writing it down. So now you've got three senses involved in different parts of your brain. And you, my friend, have hopefully locked in that word. 3. The 5 Thai Tones: We are going to talk about the five tie tones and maybe you've heard about these, maybe you've not, but this is something you absolutely positively 100-percent need to know about. Not only do you need to know about them, you need to bring them into your soul and into your mind and get them off of your tongue. You're not gonna be able to speak Thai if you do not master the five tie tones. I kid you not. This is as serious as anything I've ever said. You may feel like I exaggerate the tones and I emphasize the tones a lot. And you're probably right on both counts, but you should do that too. And as you get proficient with them, you can ease up on them maybe a little bit, maybe you don't have to do them quite so pronounced. But as a beginner, do them like this and drill, drill, drill, drill them into your head and you'll be one of the finest Thai speakers that you know. And you will receive compliments and accolades and adoration from the Thai people with whom you interact. Okay, five tie tones. Well, I think from that we can realize there are five of them. That not only does tie use five tritones, they also use phonetics like English as a phonetic based language. Tie is what's called a tonal language because not only do they use fanatics, they also use tones, is called a tonal language. Because the tone on, placed on top of a phonetic can change the meaning of a word. That's what that means. Like an English. Now, I'm going to say the word my, my, my, my, my, you know, I mean by this is, this is my pen. This is my pen. This is my pen. This is my pen. This is my pin. Okay? Now, when I say this is my pin, you can infer that I'm surprised that I own a black pen with a green tip on it. But mainly, I mean, my my that's my ownership. That is my pin. But when you put tones on them, these are the five tie tones right here. Middle tone, low tone, falling tone, high tone, rising tone. And we will look at each one individually in just a second. I just want to point out that when I put tones on the word my, what happened, what Thai people see or what type people envision or understand is this. It colors each of those words differently to the point of where each one could really mean something different and in fact does meet him something different. I believe the word mind and tie, using the five tones actually has a total of seven different meanings. And to prove that, let me look at this sentence. My, my, my, my, I asked you a question. That question is, does New Silk burn care to venture? I guess as what the answer to that is. My no, new silk does not burn. Now, whether or not New Silk burns or not, I don't know. But as illustrations go, this is pretty powerful. It's the same word said five times. You asked a question and you gave an answer, all using the same phonetic, but using different tones. Let's look at these tones. Number one is the middle tone. Some people call it the flat tone, or the standard tone, or the common tone, or the regular tone of the normal tone, what it is just your regular tone of voice right now I'm speaking in the middle tone, okay? Now, if I want to say something in a low tone, I'm going to be talking alone. Let's say, I'm going to say the word, let's say my, again. I'm going to say the word might in a low tone. So this is me and I'm going to say my I lowered my tone. So this is my normal tone. My is a low tone. My you see how I kinda went up and I come down. My that's a falling tone. My is a high tone. That's my, that's my pen, right? And that leaves one more. That's the rising tone. My That's my pen. Doesn't look like my pen. Okay. So my, my, my, my, my and we will practice those and you will soon be able to differentiate. You'll see occasionally a graphic that shows the tones, something like this. You can see that there's the middle tone, which is the black arrow, the low tone, which is, what is that a fuchsia. And then the high tone does the pink and then the rising tone, obviously red and green as falling. That's a graphic you'll see all though I think this graphic is probably much more accurate about what really happens. Don't worry about this. Just do what I do. Follow me and you will you will master your tones. I believe we're gonna do a sentence and tie. It's got five different tones in it. I think that by the time we're done with this, this lesson, you'll be less confused. And I think you'll have a bit more confidence. Okay, so let's take a look at these five tones, middle tone. That's your normal tone of voice. Yada. Yada. Repeat after me whenever I say anything in Thai. Remember you're going to say something and tie too, right? Yeah. Yeah. Middle tone, that's your normal tone of voice. Now, we're going to say you low tone, you, your normal voice is here and you're going to say u. U. That's the low tone. Going to do high tone around. I'm I'm rolling my arm just a little bit of on high tone brown. So now we've done three tones already. Middle tone, ya, low tone, you high tone on. So we've got two tons left, a falling tone and a rising tone. Let's do those in the same word, T, T, C, I'm making that fall T. And then I'm going to bring up from the bottom ti, ti, ti, nine. Very good. You've done all five tones. We've done the middle tone, ER, the low tone, you, the high tone around the falling tone t, and the rising tone NY. Let's make a sentence out of that shell. We run Kai. Yeah, I, you know, I had to add another word. I had to add chi in there to make a sentence, but that starts sentence. Where is a store that sells medicine around? Kai? Yeah, you TNI. Let's say it again and really punch those tones. Okay. On chi. You Tina. Hi. Hi. Yeah. You Qi night. Hi. Yeah. You Shi night. Sky you T9. Brian. Hi. Yeah. You yeah. You that anti yeah. You deny. Bran is a store is a sharp It's a storefront around. High tone. On. Chi means to sell Kai, rising tone. One more time. Chi means to sell yarn. Flat tone as medicine. Medicine. Ya. You means to be located, to be at. It also means is happening now. We'll see that in some other sentences. But right now, to be located, to be at you. Low tone. You means is in this situation, TNI mean square, where which place? T falling night is a question where T, meaning where. It functions as the word where. And in Thai they don't use a question mark, they use question words. So whenever you hear in a sentence, that's also used as the question mark, okay? And it means where? Ron Cai you, Tina, if we take that word for word, store, sells medicine, is where. Okay, that makes sense as the grammar is backwards from English or runs the different direction. I'm Sarah, front-to-back, back to front and English. But you know what it means. And I think you probably figured out the word for pharmacy is Von Kai? Yeah. Yvonne Kai. Yeah. It's a pharmacy. But I'm Kai. Yeah. You hi. Yeah. You he knows that anti. Yeah. Hi. Yeah. Hi. Hi. Yeah. Nice. Ryan. Ryan. Hi. Yeah. You drank high TNI. So repeat after me if you would. Run Cai, you, Tina. Really punch those tones. And on chi ER, you T9, on Chi, Ya, U, t. This is an excellent sentence. I mean, you've, you've learned all of your tones in one sentence. But it's an excellent sentence to memorize. This is, be sure and write these down in your book. What I'd like to do is when I have a sentence, I'll write it out and just Romanized and the English. I don't always write the Thai script because it's a little advanced at this point in our studies. I can't see the camera, but let me show you what I do. Mike, on this side, I'll have a new page. This is a new journal. So I'll write the sentence out on one side and I'll write it in Romanized and I'll write it in English underneath it. On the opposite page, alright, the individual words and I'll write them in Romanized first. I'll write it in Thai script in the middle, and then I'll write it in English that way. Whenever I'm studying, I can put my hand over it and go Okay. Lay out what's the word loud mean? And then I can look if I need to go. Okay, Cool. What's that mean? Young, I bet, you know, and I just go down my page. I've got a dozen of these books and so will you, by the time you're done. Fabulous. But that's what you do, right? Them, like write them down like that and you'll, you'll retain quite a bit more. So what we have done is we have learned the five tie tones, and we have used the five tie tones one more time. Just let me mention to you what they are. Middle, low, high, falling, and rising. 4. The Class Project: Thank you so much for joining me on this excursion. This is so much fun learning to speak Thai. I'm glad to have you along. And you're gonna be glad you did this because it's just, it's just a wonderful, wonderful mind expanding experience from end-to-end. I can't think of a bad thing that's happened to me because I've learned to speak Thai and I love it and I loved the people. And I love Thailand and I loved the process of learning. And that's one thing I'd like to encourage you, is to enjoy the learning, enjoy where you are, even though maybe you're a beginner and you'll want to move along quickly. Pull back their horse. Let's slow down just a little bit, because now is the time to lay in those bricks, that firm foundation of your learning. Now, the class project, I mentioned that you probably want something like this. You can use a three-ring notebook. You can use pages off your printer, you can print out, you know, lined, lined paper like that or something. But let me show you what I would like for you to do for the class project. As we go through the lessons, I want you to keep track of the words that you're learning. And this is the way that I do it. This is the way I've done it for years and this has just worked so incredibly well. Hide my wonderful face for me for just a second. Probably page on the left. I'm going to write the sentences that I'm learning, right? And I'm gonna do just two lines. Number one, the first line is going to be written in Romanization. In the second line is going to be written in English. And you can see that Laocoon lockup bending a bond. That's a sentence that we learned. Underneath it I wrote. And you, How are you doing then? What I did is I took this, it just, just Romanized, just English for the sentence. Alright. But when I come over here to do the single words, you'll see how well, if you look right here, Laocoon lockup and then I don't know how back. Oh, that's cool. And then vignetting. I see. So what I did is I took this word for word, put it on the next page in three columns. First column being Romanized, second column being Thai script, third column being English. This is the class project. I want you to take a picture of your first complete see how I've got this completely finished on this one page. I want you to take a picture of your journal just like this and show us. Now you'll see that over here. I've got the word ma, highlighted in my sentence and then its translation there come and I also have it over here. Why did I do that? That's because that's the first word that I thought of in Thai and knew the meaning of it without having to translate it in my head. Mao, what does that mean? Mom means to come. Okay, boom, mom, just mint to come in my head. So to come here might jog, right? That was kinda the first phrase, but mom was the first one that grabbed me. So there you go. I highlighted it. So show us a picture like this of your book and the word that jumped out for you that kinda signified that you're starting to think in Thai. It'd be wonderful. Let me point out over here. What I'm doing here is I'm leaving a line between my sentences, right? So that I can make sure that I have plenty of room to do my tone markers up here, which is really, really important, right? Okay, very cool. That's the class project. Show us your journal. One more thing I'd like to add is the Thai script here. You're probably unfamiliar with this, right? Butt on Skillshare, I have a class, the Thai alphabet game, go do that. Just familiarize yourself. I have a debt, some downloadable stuff there. I have a calligraphy pages so you can practice the consonants and become really familiar with it. Glad to have you along. Thanks a lot. 5. Hello: Hello. What I want to point out here is the languages that you see on the screen. The first line, the top line is usually tie script. And this is actually how the ties write their language. This is the correct spelling of salt D cup. This is Romanization. This is a tool so that we can use the Roman alphabet as we know it to get some approximation of what the words are and the tones are. And then of course, English will be usually at the bottom. This is the basic structure of how I break down the sentences. You can see that I've got the word Ron highlighted. Now I'm using this as my normal voice and Ron is a high tone word. So that's why I changed the tone of my voice when I say it. But as you can see, I've got Yvonne highlighted in Thai script. I've got it highlighted in the Romanized version of the script. And I have it highlighted it in English so that there should be no question on your part. What is the correct meaning and way to spell this so that when you write it down in your journal, which I suggest you have a journal, you will be able to keep track of the words you know, and how they look and how they sound. Tie is a tonal language. Yes, it has phonetic center, but there are two parts, the tonal and the phonetic component. If you don't get both right, the people you speak to will not understand you. The tone is paramount. So what low tone? D, then cup, high tone. So at D cup, you hear that song and my voice, That's the tonal component. That's how you say hello. Now if you're a woman, you don't use the word cup. You something else, which I'm going to get to here in just a second. So hold on. What the what the what the what the what the high. So please always repeat the words out loud. I want you to talk to the screen. Maybe not if you're in an airport or a hospital or someplace like that, but if you're by yourself sitting in your living room or out on the front porch or something? Say it out loud because I what I say is if you're if you're not saying it out loud, and if you're not writing it down, what you're doing is you're thinking about Thai. You're not thinking and tie. And thinking in tie us where we want to get. That comes from doing the extras, that comes from repeating out loud. That comes from writing the words down in your journal. Okay. Sought the cup. Women will say car. So a woman would say so what the, what, the, what the so what the crab? The crab. The crab. One thing you might have noticed is, I'm a man. I'm always going to speak masculine tie or male tie. So I'm always going to say so what the cop I'm only going to say so what they car when I think about it, which is readily. So if you're a woman watching this or a girl, you will always have to say car. And whenever I say any sentence and I ended with a cup, you have to make the change yourself. And I've got about 2000 lessons mapped out. And we've got most of those recorded. And I told my people couldn't see Dom Kuhn, Daisy and Kuhn, blah. I said, please don't add cop or car to the ends of every single sentence because you don't need that lesson 2000 times. But knowing your head that you're always going to say cup, or you're always going to say car at the end of just about every single sentence in Thailand, especially as a foreigner, you can't say it enough. 6. Personal Pronouns & Polite Particles: We spoke about this a little bit before, but I just want to make sure that we actually cover it properly. Now, which brings up a thing. Sometimes you will see things and lessons and you'll say, Well, I already know this, please do not skip it. Please go over it again. That's how you learn. That's how you start thinking in Thai is because you're familiar with it. And then you do it again, and you do it again. You see it again, you hear it again, you'll see it written somewhere. Somebody else says and you hear it and then you do it again and then you say it again and then you write it down, then that becomes part of you in the foreign language. Because our goal is not, again, our goal is not to just speak Thai, which is a hard thing to do unless you can think and tie. Our goal is to think in Thai, do the lessons, repetition and routine. Rnr. Rnr works man, repetition and routine. Okay. So remember that, please. The first few lessons might be a little repetitive or might be a little basic for you. Maybe you're already aware of these, but there are little gems hidden out through the whole thing. And it's all part of the learning. And as we say, in the world of banjo, banjo players, I play banjo. There's a banjo proverb that says, the slower you practice, the faster you play. And that's what we're doing. Okay, so, so enjoy, enjoy the learning, enjoy the process. Okay, just enjoy the process. So here we go. Personal pronouns and polite particles divided by sex. I am sick is the sentence that we're going to look at. Now you would think that that's pretty easy, then it is personal pronouns for men and women are different. Women are going to say Chung, which is an abbreviation for the word Dickinson. Dickinson is a little more formal, a little more polite. But most women will just say Chun. But if you're a lady or a woman or a girl, you can always say Deaton. And that's very nice. So that's another one of those changes you might want to make on your own because I don't think out of the 2000s lessons I have, I think I only write ditching one time. I may be wrong on that number, but it's very rare that I write the whole thing out. Because John is used by most women most of the time. For men to say I or me poem, they're both rising tones. Palm. And John De Shun is d. D is, is your normal voice and Chun is rising and POME is rising. I think you've got that, huh? That's the personal pronoun. So men and women say I or me differently. Let's take a look at the tones. We already looked at the tones here for the word I, which is poem. If you're a guy and if you're a girl. My, you see this little thing right here is it's like you go up the hill and come down the hill. My, it's a falling tone. So Chiang Mai, the next word, which is the third word in the sentence, saw by saw is low tone. And then by is your normal voice. So saw by. Then if you're a woman, you're going to throw that falling tone on the word car. If you're a man, you're gonna say crop with a high tone, cup. Alright? So if I were a woman saying this, I'd say Chen, my sub ICA. If I'm a man, I'm gonna say, pull my son BIPAP. I have to think about it when I speak. Speak female. This is not a natural thing to do and feels a little awkward. By my, my, my sub, I hat home, my by crop. By crop or BIPAP. So there you see it. Yeah. I am sick. And you're saying it politely, right? So you're going to throw that polite particle on the end, the cup, the car. Out of the four words here in this sentence, 50% are different depending upon if you're a male or a female. And the Poli particles loosely mean Sir or Ma'am, And you can use them as yes, but that's coming in in a later lesson. I am a man and I am always going to speak masculine Thai. Ladies, again, I know this is early on in the course. I just want to say ladies, I'm always going to speak masculine tie. And I'm not going to every single time say cup. Okay, ladies say it's just something that you're going to have to do. Alright, If I were a woman speaker and I've seen, I've seen ladies who teach Tai, same thing. They say car and then they don't tell the guys that they're supposed to be saying cup. That's a common thing because their tie and they just think that you know that because it's so basic. But you don't know it because you don't speak tell you weren't born with that. Which is by the way, the best way to learn to speak Thai. Be born there is a tie baby. Other than that, I really think that my course is the second best way to learn to speak Thai. So anyway, I think, I think I've made my point here. I'm always going to say cup. And ladies, when I say club, you're always going to in your head and then out of your mouth and write down, you're going to say car. And I'm always gonna say poem for me or I. And lady's yard is going to say Cheonan, are you going to say ditch on? And you'll just have to make that that switch automatically in your own head. But I have faith in you. You can do it. One thing I'd like to point out in this was confusing to me when I first started speaking tie as I thought when I spoke to women, I had to say car at the end of the sentences. And when I spoke to me, I had to say cup at the end of the sentences. That's wrong. Depends on the sex of who is speaking, not to whom he is speaking. So if I'm speaking to a woman, I'm gonna say cup. If I'm speaking to a man, I'm going to say crop. If, if a woman is speaking to a man, she's going to say car. And if she's speaking to another woman, she's going to say car, don't, don't get confused about that. It's an easy mistake. And you will see a lot of beginning speakers making this mistake. My by my, my, my sub, I hat home. My sub-i crop mesa, buy crap myself by going up. Okay, so repeat after me. And i'm, I'm gonna do just the masculine. So ladies, here's your first opportunity to, as I speak masculine. You speak feminine. Pull my sub bicarb. Palm. Palm. My son, I cop. 7. How Are You?: So how are you somebody? My body, my cup. Let's take a look at the tone, shall we? First word so by, so by low tone saw, saw, the word saw BY, there's no tone marker on bias, so that's a flat tone, that's your normal voice. So saw by sub bi, That's the song in that sub by. Next word is D. It's also a flat tone because there's no marker Romanization. So sought by d. And then my, we've seen this tone marker before, shaped kind of like a little divot or a bold. It's a rising tone. My my so the proper tones to say this, and I'm sure that you're repeating along r sub by d, by d my by my, by the, My, abiding, by My, my, my sub, by that means to be fine, to be well, to be happy. Kinda be two. I put chill and groovy on there because that doesn't quite translate into English. And that'll suffice. And then once you get deepen the Thai language, you'll realize that that's not exactly what it means, but that's good enough. Di means good. D flat tone always means good. My turns, whatever is in front of it into a question. So sub ID means, hey, everything's good. Everything's good. Sub by dy, everything's groovy, everything's hip, Everything's happening. Sub by d. But then you go, my is everything good? Is everything fine? Is everything groovy? Sub by d my my is of it's critical that you get this tone right up to make it a question word. Because there are five tones that you can put on the word. And it means seven different things. So you've gotta get the tones just right. In fact, you can see here, the first meaning of the word Might makes the sentence a question. The second meaning of the word my mean silk. By the my the, by the, by the, by the my, sat, by the, my body, my body, my soul by the, my body, my body, my cup. So by d, my cup. So Beidi my cup means how are you? 8. How Are Things?: So how are things like how you doing? Young, I've been young. I bomb Only one tone. And that whole sentence, as you can see, Ben has no tone markers, the two halves the word young I, young I are flat because there's no tone markers. But bomb has a falling tone. So you start here, your normal voice should go up and You Fall Down. Bond bending, I bomb. How are things? And yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My young I by printing I by looking at what each word means. Ban. Ban. It means to be at means is, I'm gonna get my pen here for this one. Now, we're not necessarily learning how to read and tie, but I want you to be familiar with it, okay? So you see this BP right here. Whenever I write BP hard together, It's a hard, right? Ben. It's not pin. Like I have I have I have a pin. And it's not been like my nephew Ben. Benjamin is Ben. Ben has got some explosive to it. And you can tell that from looking up here in the tie, this letter, it's called Bob blah. Today we will talk a little bit about letters. I've got a couple of lessons I'm going to throw in here about those. We're not really learning how to read Thai, but we're really doing our best to become familiar with it. It's a wonderful tool. But it starts with a clockwise loop. Comes down and then this tail comes up high. There's also one that where the tail doesn't come up very high. But whenever we see that, that character is a hard BP, hard hit, Ben means to be or is young. Young. And I, of course, again, no tone markers on either syllable in that word. Young i means how or what. So if we did ban in, is what is kinda what that is, is how is, how, is how young I been to be young i is how or what? Looking at bond with that falling tone. Bomb means sum or any bending. Eyeballing means what is is how some things binning I bomb makes perfect sense. And yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Night. Been young I alright. So repeat after me. Been young, I bombed. It means how are things? Being young? I bomb. Been young, I bomb. And you would throw a crop on the Internet. So bending and I bond cop, repeat after me, bending my bunk up once more just because we like saying it so much. Bending a bunk up. And if you're a woman, you through chi in there instead of cops, right. 9. I Am Well: I'm well, thanks for asking. And ask. We did in a previous, I believe, a previous lesson. Remember somebody makeup, somebody my cup? So this is a saying, I'm well, and what we would say is somebody somebody cop, I'm well, let's look at the tones on this. Not that I really have to mark them, but I'm going to say is a low tone. Saw, we've seen this word before, saw low tone. And by which is the second half of the words, right sub bi is the word. The first half is low tone. The second half of the word is your normal voice, sub I, and then D has no tone marker up on the top. Let me draw that flat instead of kind of drifting upwards, d by, d, saw by the cup. Because as you know, cup is a high tone. And if you're a woman, you're saying chi here, right? You're saying you're saying it with a falling tone. Why? The sub ID? So by the, by the, by the, by the hop sub-i, as we said in the other lesson. So you may have actually seen this one already. The word seb buy, it means to be fine, to be healthy, to be well and happy to have good karma all as well. It's got a meaning of pleasure and kinda xin minus to it. And just generally feeling groovy. Sub y. Then D flat tone. D means to be good, to be nice. By the ID. So by d hat sub I, the crop up by the crop. Subsidy crop. Somebody cup. I am well, somebody cup. Somebody cup. Let me ask you how you doing bending a bond. You're going to answer. 10. And You; How are you doing?: And you, How are you doing? Now? It looks like it's gonna be a big, big sentence, but you know what? You're going to handle it just fine. Because I think we've already done just about all of these words. Let me look at it. 12 words. There's only two new words in this entire sentence. You've looked at all the others already. Kuhn, lockup, bending, I bomb. Grab my pen here. We're going to mark this baby up loud. Now, there's a couple of things about this first word. You've got to say it correctly. I'm going to tell you how to say it. We're going to get to the meeting and just a few minutes, but layout, I'm kinda throwing it up into my nose, right? Layout. It's a sound. We don't really do an English on purpose and has a high tone layout. Kuhn has no marker on top, so you know that that means it's a flat tone word. Law is a falling tone law. Then Club, high tone, as you know, ladies car. So Kuhn law and the law of falling as really fast. It's kinda just a, a balance of your tongue really. Layout can look up. And we've done this before. Well, I guess I can do a flat tone. They're flat tone here. Flat tone on this first half of the word, flat tone of the second half of the word, because we've already, this is one entire lesson here that we've, maybe you've seen already, maybe you're about to see it. But Ben young, I bond, there's only one tone in there. And that's that falling tone. Been young, I bought. The whole sentence reads, layout can look up being a bomb. Means and you, How you doing. I couldn't lie. And young via layout for the laptop. Opinion a vine. Yeah. Yeah. No. No. So we're going to break this into two halves. As you can see right here. Now, cool, like hop means and you, lao Kuhn, lock-up means and you, That means that bidding a bond means, how are you doing? Bending I bomb, How are you doing? Let's take let's take a look first at the first half and you were loud. And remember that kind of goes up into your nose loud and it's a high tone, it means already. And then and then after. So if I were if I were to ask you, Hey, did you go already? You could say loud means already. Yeah, already went. Kuhn. Flat tone on this. Kuhn means you, Mr. Ms. Mrs. Miss. Any derivation thereof? Law falling means each per every it's kind of a polite particle, and it softens the sentence. You could indeed just say Laocoon cop. And that would mean the same thing. And you allow Kuhn cop, but it's on that line and they're kinda makes it friendlier. Now couldn't look up. Yeah, That makes it sound friendly. And that's a falling tone. If you're a woman. So how are you doing is bending. I bomb the alkene lockup bidding I bomb bin means is or to be young, I flat tones young by putting two in Gs together as kind of a trick, isn't it? Young i means how, what anyway, whichever way young I been is to be young i is how, which whatever way. And then bom means some are any level. Lie. And young night by loud or laptop. Opinion, a bond. A bond. Yeah. Mine. Now. Been young I by bending, I buy corn crop and young. Night. Now corn, cob. Been young, I bought loud. Alright, so repeat after me. Now, couldn't look up. Bending, I bomb. Kuhn lockup. Ben Yang, I bomb. Loud. Couldn't look up. Bending. I bomb. 11. Hello on the Phone (3 Ways): How to say hello on the phone. You already know how to say hello and public, right? And when you meet people, you've got that one down that Saudi cup. But there are three common ways that people will answer the phone and tie. And this is really a probably a lot more interesting, less than than you think. So bear with me here. Swat D cop, right? You know that. So what dy people will say that it means hello, good morning, hi, good afternoon. It means good night, it means goodbye. You can use at anytime and you can even use it on the phone. So I pick up. Absolutely fine. Absolutely perfect. Now, with the advent of cell phones and everybody having one and kids have at home and being hip and cool and having their own shorthand language like teenagers always do. You can now say what the what D you would only want to say this if you look at the caller ID and you know the person who is calling, who is calling you, and you are friends or real close. Real slang. It's real informal. And that's what bros would say to each other, right? That's what you're you and your pals would say. But D, which as I think you probably do just as you just cut the saw off the front. What low tone D. The third way that people in Thailand are going to answer the phone. And this is a little, this is a little more. It's not as formal as swat the cup, but it is a little more formal than what D, This is the one in the middle. I saved it for the end because it illustrates a really interesting, really interesting point on a tie speak and on Thai alphabet. So bear with me. We're going to look at one of the Thai characters. But let me just suffice to say at the beginning that the Thai will not, cannot put an L at the end of a syllable. So hello can't say it because there's an L at the end of a syllable. My last name, Harvey bill has an L at the end of it. They can't say that. They also can't say V, as in Victor. So let's, let's do some drawing on this slide and this will help you understand tie a lot. Hon law is how they say hello, hello. Now, we're going to break this into two syllables, **** and low. And that happens right here. That's the H sound. And this is what we would call the L sound, that l, This character, or I'm drawing with a mouse. So it's kind of rugged. Is the l sound when it's at the beginning of a syllable. At the end of a syllable. It's an N. So they can't even say it. **** doesn't work. They've got to say Han, because that's the way they've written it and that's what the alphabet dictates that they say. So in this half, we see that this is the front of the word and this is the back of the word, beginning and end of the word. So that L is at the, at the end of the word is spoken. It also happens to be at the end of the word. Now in Thai sometimes. And this is the case right now. This part of the word, the low part, right? ****. And then low. This L. Okay, let me, let me do it like this. Here is a consonant and this is the L is a consonant. In Thai, you can put vowels above, in front of behind. And yes, even below the consonant, right? So what they've done here is this is actually the beginning of the word, this is the L. But this is the 0 right here this long. That's an OH. So but people know that that never comes with not all. They know that when they see this to keep going. And they know that this is going to be silent. This is more than we really bargained for here. This is that helps with the tone, but low, but this just so you understand this, this syllable is read this direction. ****, and this syllable is read this direction. It's kind of red light. This is the way it's red. But that ends up putting the L at the beginning of a syllable when they speak. So that's why they can say this L right here. That's why they can say this cell, but they can't save this L. The other fun thing is they can't say v. So if they have a V, they will make that into a W because they can say that. So my name is I told you how Carville they can't say the L at the end. So it would be hard oven. But they can't say the V Either. They turn that into a W. So my name Harvey bill ends up being har when in Thai. Probably a whole lot more than you really wanted to know about it at this point. But it explains some of the language. And sometimes you'll hear people say things. You just don't understand what they're saying is because think about it. If there should be an L in the middle of a word they're saying in. Instead. I hope you find that helpful. Hello, hello, hello. Hello, hello. Hello. Hello. Okay, So there you go. Three ways to, to answer the phone and tie. The reason I tell you that is because you may dial a number and a time may pick up on the other end and you want to be aware of what they may say. So that's what the cop what D or Hello. 12. What is your Name?: What is your name? Cone. Sure. I like up. Let's take a look at the tones, shall we? Kuhn, to write-off. We know Kuhn is a flat tone, your normal tone of voice because there is no tone marker up here on top. So that would be just a flat middle tones. Some call it the natural tone, the middle tone and the flat tone. Whatever, whatever works for you and my friend has just fine. Alright, so that's the first word Kuhn to you, kinda tightening your third up here in the back too. To as a falling tone. Right? You can see that two. And then our next word, we break it in half because it's two syllables. First syllable is a low tone, and then the second syllable, flat. Cone to dry. Very good. And then COP, we know as high. And car, if you're a female, is falling by 1212. According to Kuhn, right? Here, I can choose RI. And of course you want to put a polite particle on the, on the end of that so can chew up when you say it, right? But we're just studying now so we can do without the polite particles on the end. So Kuhn means you, it means your it means Mr. Mrs. Miss or Mrs. Corn too. To falling tone as we said earlier. And then you're just tightening up your throat a little bit to two means name or to be named. And then RI. Ri means what. And it also makes the sentence a question, so it doubles as the word what, and it doubles as a question mark. So it means what, something, anything, whatever. And it is a question word to lie. I couldn't hear. I I I I couldn't I couldn't tell her. I thank you. Kuhn law Kuhn, Daisy and couldn't see DOM. Repeat after me which please? Cone or a cop. Control. Control. And I kept how would how would you say what your name and Thai. 13. My Name Is...: Somebody has asked you, now, What's your name and you're going to have to respond with, Well, my name is seems logical, doesn't it? Chun, to car? If you're a female, right? Palm to crop, if you're a guy, the three dots there is where you're supposed to put your name. Let's, let's look at the tones here just briefly. We've got two words, a rising tone on palm and a falling tone on to the two. You tighten your neck up, just your tongue up just a little bit right here at the back too. Okay. Pome to if you're a male and challenge to, if you're a female, the tones are gonna be the same, rising on your personal pronoun and falling on to fair, it is Chun to John. John is Ami and female. And again, two is to be named or name. Paul. Paul should. So I'm going to say my name is Dan. And I expect that you will want to change the name Dan to whatever your name happens to be. Unless your name happens to be Dan. And then you can go ahead and use Dan. You can use it anyway. Poem means my or I or me. To is named as we've discussed. Dan, that's my name and that's how you would write it and tie. And then cup because I'm a guy, I'm gonna be polite. So Pullman, should Dan cop? Poem to Dan cop. My name is Dan, Sir or Ma'am. So how do you think Ms. Daisy would say it from beginning to end? Chan to Daisy car is how she would say because Daisy is a female. Okay, so repeat after me. I'm going to say my name and you can go ahead and say your name. Okay. Poem to Dan cop. Poem to Dan cop. Poem to Dan cap. 14. Where Are You From?: So where are you from? Kumar jog, Tina Cup. Of course, if you're a female, you're going to say Kumar jog T9. Taking a look at the tones. And I know this seems like I do it just the same way every time, but you know what? This is, how you drill it into your head. Colon. We've seen that word before. Flat tone, right? That's your normal voice. Kumar. Kumar. Flat tones. John is low tone, job goes down. T. T is falling. Nih is a rising tone. That's that word there. Cool in my job, TNI. And then you're polite particle on the end. If you're a guy has cup. If you're a girl, Well, you know what it is. It's car that's actually at it. Here we go. Car falling on my night. My dad my night. When looking at the word Kuhn colon, we said this. We've seen this before. You it can also mean you're in the right context. You Mr. Mrs. Ms. Ms. Whatever you have, it's polite way of like our teachers there. We have Kuhn, Daisy, and we have Kuhn blah, meaning Ms. Daisy and Mr. Bla. Mock flat tone, more normal voice. Ma means to come. Jack. Jack, low tone. And you know, not that we're learning to write right now, but I think I've mentioned this before. This character right here is the end. Well this whole word is job. And there we have it written and Thai script. And then here we have it in Romanization, jot low tone, that is really a hard stop on that k. And it's kind of a, you throw a G K in their job. Like it's almost like you're saying jug, jug. And you stop the G just as it turns into a K of a falling tone, rising tone, right? T9, it means from where, where, which place? It also is a question where it's so it can also be just where it's kind of in that ballpark. So here we go. Here's where and the word teen. I also know not only does it put the word where, because I suppose you could say you come from where, right? Because that's the way the grammar works here in Thai. But in English we say where did it come from? So TNI works not only as the word where the beginning of the sentence, it also works as the question mark, because there are question words. Just using that word turns it into a question and tie. So whenever you say TI, you have asked a question whether you meant to or not. My night last night. Who? My T. T When my dark Tina. So repeat after me. Quitting my job, Tina Cup Kuhn, my tea cup, Kuhn, my jug, T9 cop. And I'm sure all the ladies were saying Kuhn much OK, Tina car, which I believe is the next slide. Let's look. And there it is. Kuhn mod t Nika. 15. I Come From...: Well, I come from fill in the blank. Paul much OK, Hollywood cup. Or if you're a female, Chun might jog Hollywood car. These are very much the same tones we did in another lesson where the question was, where do you come from? And this would be the answer to that question. And somebody says, So where do you come from? You'd say, I come from. The tones are the same if you saw that either the lesson, if not, well, we'll do this lesson and then when you see the other lesson, you'll be familiar with the tones. Pome, which is a rising tone, you know that more flat tone, job. Low tone. And then cup, there's a high tone, right? The same thing with Chun. Word that needs no introduction. Now since we've done it enough times, ma is flat, jog is a low tone word, jog. And then car is a falling tone. Home, my home, my son. So I come from, well, we have the personal pronoun for I in both variants, male and female there. You should certainly be acquainted with those by now. Poem for men and for women. More flat tone, ma, means to come or come. So Palma, I come from. So pull my job. Straightforward. I come from sun, my my home, my home, my home, my dad, my dad, my dad. Okay. So repeat after me. Go ahead and insert the town or state or country, whatever you would like to insert in the sentence. Okay, let's practice it. Poem, my jar. I'm going to say Hollywood, okay, for me. Poem my job, hollywood cop. Pull my job, hollywood cup. Home my job, hollywood cup. 16. I've Been in Thailand for 2 Months Already: I have been in Thailand for two months already. Home, you mourn time, a song done now cup. This is a sentence where we can put our personal pronouns or the front, and we can end it politely. So we'll put our plight particles at the end, right? So depending upon your sex, if you're a male, you're going to say poem or Chun for I. And that is going to be a rising tone, right? On either one and then crop or car on the end. So let's look at the meat of this, which is right here in the middle. You have a low tone. You might normal voices here, and I say You. Then this word has no tone markers at all. So that's your normal voice, flattened flat, that's a three syllable. Move along, tie three syllable word. Monkey. Mom is a flat tone. Your normal voice because there are no tone markers. Song, song is a rising tone, didn't do and flat tone, loud, high tone. You, I think you've seen that word before, loud high tone, and it goes up into your nose layout. Then as kind of an interesting word too, we'll talk about that a little bit more Hawaii when we get to it in the, what does this word mean section. And then you're going to end your sentence with either a high tone cup, or a falling tone if you're male or female. So this would read a poem you long time a song to allow cop home. You. Hi, my song. Hi, My thaw. The allow home. You didn't hire mythology allow. You. Hi, Sharon. You. Hi. My song. Now, Newman, high-mass on there. Now, looking at the words, I've taken a personal pronouns and applied particles off the ends. So we're just looking at what this sentence of the meat of the sentence is saying you more time or Songdo and allow you to be, to live at, to stay at, to be located at you just it's an interesting word. It means a lot of things. Just got a second meaning you can throw it in someplace to say that the verb is currently happening. Now, we'll get to a lesson on that. But you pretty much means to be at, to be at, I'm in, I am n is the same thing as to be at just different tenses and time. So you low tone means to be at, to live at, to stay up and tie a tie. This is the name of Thailand spoken in Thai. Monk means nation. Tie means freedom or liberty. Among time means the land of the free land that has liberty means to come, to arrive, to come in, to come towards. Song is the number to the numeral two. Song. Done means month. Doing. You tighten up your mouth and your jaw, and you lift your tongue up a little bit and kind of starts being a little nasally do and means month. Then Lau, high tone, loud means already, and then, and then after that means all ready in this case. Alright, I've been in I've been in Thailand for two months already. Laid out. You. Hi. Hi, my song. Do you add new mankind? You I, my jaw. Then. Now you weren't high. My thaw, the allow nutrient however, some deal out. Or you tie my song called you a mass on the moon timezone, that layout. So you're going to of course select your sex and speak appropriately. I being male, I'm going to say poem and cup. Poem. You long time my song done. Now. Repeat after me. Poem you more. Time off song didn't allow. Cop. One more time. Pull them human time, my Songdo and allow cup. I've been in Thailand for two months already. 17. Good Night: Good night. So what so what? Now if you're a man, you know, you got the polite particle here at the end. So COP is a high tone and car, for ladies, is a falling tone. So men are very so-what cop is how you say good night. And ladies, and I'm very sought car. That's how you would say it. Let's break this down by words about three as one word. So what is the next word in that sentence? Three, and I roll those tones. I robot was ours a little bit. Three. Landry. You can do it too much. You can't go around three. And that's a little bit too much. Don't do that. The next word, low tone. Low tone here, breaks the words right there, saltwater. So the first, the first, they're both two syllable words about three, both flat tone and then saltwater. The second word. So 33. Okay. That's the tones and of course, high end car is falling. Cobb being the plight particle. But ladies would say a lot. The study. What the ****, what these three? And you can hear me roles are, it's just a little bit, but I'd very evening time, nighttime. Actually, this is the r sound right there. And this is a d Delta sound. So, okay. That's the E up there. This is the R and this is the R and D, right? So I don't know if I mentioned it to you before, but if you have a constant at the Thai alphabet, you can put vowels above, in front of behind, and yes, below your consonants. So ladies and gentlemen, They're everywhere. This is not a reading class, but, you know, we're gonna become familiar with it as we go along because we'll see interesting words like that anyway. Raspberry means evening, nighttime means happiness. Somewhat. Low tones, both halves sought, both, both halves. Low tone means happiness. So wat means a night of happiness or good night, right? Because in tie, the modifier comes after the subject. So if you don't have a red car, you have a car red. You don't have a pretty girl, you have a girl pretty. And you don't have a good night, you have a night good. The way it goes. Rubbery. So-what cop or a rat race. So what chi three saliva. The saliva. So what what the, what the what? Triad three. So three is the so-what? So repeat after me. Hopefully you've been doing that the whole time anyway. I agree. Somewhat. Agree, somewhat. Agree, somewhat. Let's put the put the polite particle on the end. Shall we? Three, sought cup. Three, so-what cup? Or if you're a female. But so what car falling? Alright, you've got that. How do you say good night in Thai? Write these down, saying them out loud and come back and revisit them in a little while after you've ingested them and percolated on them. And that's how we think in Thai. 18. Bye Bye: How do you say bye-bye to say goodbye. Now we already know. So what did copyright? You can use that for hello and goodbye at anytime, but you can also say a parting phrase, that means bye-bye, and it's bye-bye. Don't tune out just yet. There's more to this. The more to it is the tones. You have to actually use these to these tones. The high tone by and then your normal voice, flat tone, normal tone. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye. Bye, bye. Bye. Quick lesson. You just have to know that the tones are that critical. Bye-bye. And the other thing is this word, bye-bye obviously comes from English, right? Is called a tuffs up. A word that has been borrowed from another language and directly brought into Thai will be assigned tones. Although you may absolutely recognize the word like Bye-bye obviously or compute. You have to have those tones for computer. There are countless others, just like English, how we borrow words from all other languages on the earth. Tie does the exact same thing. And you can usually tell if it's a borrowed word. Because most towards the original tie words only have one syllable, that all one syllable, one tone words. So if you've come across a word that's two syllables, It's usually a borrowed word from another language. Just a little bit of information for you there. But you can indeed say bye-bye. But make sure you get the tones right. 19. Go?: Do you go? That seems a little awkward in English perhaps is not exactly how you'd want to add asked. There might not be exactly how you would ask that question in English, but I think that as you learn a couple of principles here and tie that, this will make more sense to you, or at least seem a little less awkward by my, by flat tone. By and that BP right there is this symbol right here, which is the Bob. Blah means fish, block means fish. And that's usually, that is a hard hit up. It's not a bar and it's not a par. It's when you make that sound. So it's by heart. Then my rising tone, it goes down a little bit and comes way up. By my eye. My by my by my by my, by my, I may buy flat tone in a hard hit on the first syllable, the BP part by means to go. Then my rising tone has a couple of meetings. The first meeting makes it a question word because tie, the tie language does not use a question mark and so you have to use question words that also indicates that whatever you said before is now a question by can be a statement by as go. And so by my my makes that a question now. So by my mean, do you go? You may have heard that there are no tenses in Thai. So that's, that makes that kinda cool, is kind of a shorthand whenever you're talking, I guess a little takes a little getting used to because if you want to say I did something in the past or I do something now if I going to do something in the future, you have to structure the sentence is just a little bit different. But if you're just going to say by my you can be asking go. You can ask do you go? You can ask did you go by my means it means that. Means all of that. It means Will you go, right? I mean, do you wanna go? Or are you going or shall we go? All that, all that can be rolled into that GO question mark. And you will develop a sixth sense about when to use it. And you will really kind of start to understand per context, which of these meanings did the person to whom you're speaking intend for you to get? So by my is go is the question. Go by my by my my my my my, my, by my by my I and my. And of course, you're always gonna wanna throw your polite part of Columbia end of every sentence or just about every sentence do you ever say in tight, especially again, as a foot-long, you're going to want to do that. 20. Good Luck: Good luck. Cause high job. The cup, that sphere. A guy, if you're a female, of course you're going to say car call. Now I know that's that looks like it says core. It doesn't it says Call. You'll see it written a lot. If you're looking in books and stuff, you'll see that sound this OR sound written as two backwards Cs call. And I really prefer that system and I have it written like that and some of my a written materials that I pass out. But it's really hard to find a typewriter. On a typewriter, it's really hard to find a font for the computer that's got the backwards Cs. And so while writing these out, I just had to compromise because I've said before, the correct way to spell call. Is this. Not this. This is, this is a hack that's us using English and Romanized version is to try to approx, approximate what we should be talking about and sounding like in this situation. Trust me. It's not core. Call. Like a, like a bird might say call, call, forgive my tangent. And we will get right back on course all that was valuable information because I really want you to say that correctly. Call and that's a that's a rising tone call. And then high falling call. Hi. Sure. You cut it off in your throat. Choke. Very much like you're choking, right? Choke. Falling tone. D is a flat tone. If you're a man, you're going to say cup with a high tone. If you're a woman, you're going to say car with a falling tone. So call high told the cup or call high job the car, depending upon your sex or high. So the Oh, hey, Oh, the college will be high. So the hi, So the call, Hey, took the call. Core means to ask or to request. Call. High is to give or to let have. Call high is kind of its own word as well. We had the two parts. But call high means to ask, to request, to beg, or to let have or to give. Sometimes putting. Very similar words next to each other emphasizes a thought and tie. So that's kinda what they've done here. Joe is luck, and it's a falling tone obviously. And D, That means good. High. So the high, So the call, hey, hey, hey, Oh, the call I sub b. So repeat after me. Call hi Chuck, D cup. Now if you're a woman, you're saying call high towed the car. Again, call high chose the COP. And you'll use this as a parting phrase. You, you will say call high toward the cop or just took the cop. You know. Call high is a little bit more formal. Call. Hi, Chuck D. I wish the universe to bestow upon you. Good luck. And then the other is just chose D is just like say, hey, good luck. Hey good luck. See you around. 21. Have a Nice Day: Hey, Have a nice day. It's a nice thing to say, isn't that cool, Jaime one TD cup? Or if you're a lady called Jaime one TD car. Have a nice day. Call. Again. I think we've seen this in another lesson. Call, is a rising tone, high falling tone. Call hi, me. Flat tone won flat tone. And then T is falling, D flat tone. And then your plight particles at the end. So call Jaime one TD. Call me when the hay un PD call him UMPD. We me the me. One key, the UN TV call high means to give or to let, have, to ask even, or to request or to beg. It's kinda like asking the universe to give somebody something. But you can use that speaking to a person, you know, call hyena and give me some non please. I guess that would work. Okay. Cool. Hi. To give to let me flat tone. Me means to have one flat tone is the word day. T. Falling tone means that is a, which is a who is. And then D is just a flat tone. It means to be good, to be nice. Dee. Hi me. One P. The hay un PD. Call him he when he the me. The me one. The mu1 TV. Me one t d t d mu anti-D, call Jaime one TD cup. Or as you saw, you can also say mu1 TV. You might want to just say mu1 TD with friends. You know, it's really informal. But call Jaime want TD is as you actually gifting a good day to somebody. So that's a, that's a better way to say that. So repeat after me if you would call Jaime one TD cup. Call hi me, one T D cop car, Jaime one TD cup. If you're ladies, I always please automatically substitute the car for the cops. So you would be saying call Jaime one TV. 22. Pleased to Meet You: Pleased to meet you in the T Diane root Jack cup. Or if you're a lady, END Te Dian root job. Let's take a look at these tones in d. I guess that's how I cut the word right there. First half of the word flat, second half of the word flat. T is a falling tone, die falling tone. And then root jack, right here. High tone, jot, low tone. And then of course, whatever your plight particle is per year six. But END Ti Dai root jot or the tones and the key row. She died in the night through the route that END has to be Glad, to be happy. To be pleased. End flat tones, both, both syllables there. T. To add that which who, it can even be placed, area or land. It usually means to or at or that die of root Jack means to make your acquaintance, to get to know you, to find out, to discover. Root means, to know a person. Grew means to know a thing. But if you're going to know a person, it has to be a root job, Okay? Root shock is to know a person. Be she died. She died In the night through the Khedive roots app. You need the t dy to tap in the T died or tap that toe tap. So if you would, please repeat after me and put it in your sex appropriate polite particle at the end. You NDT dilute jot cup. End t dy ru.com, indeed.com. Pleased to meet you. I certainly am. 23. Are You Able? Can You?: This looks like a pretty easy lesson and it certainly is. But it's very important because it underlies some strategy when speaking tie, some grammar when speaking Thai. We're going to look at the word can, which also means able. Like can you do something or are you able to do something? And then we're going to find out, we're going to use that in a sentence and then figure out how to answer both in the affirmative. Yes, I can do that. And then the negative, No, I am not able to do that. Okay, so it's gonna be quite an interesting and very valuable lesson for you. Die. And it's a falling tone, as I believe you can see. Dy, that means can, it also means able. Let's use this in a sentence. Tom die my hub. And if you're a woman, of course you're saying calm down my car. Or if you're a woman, you have the option of saying car, falling tone or high tone. That's an exception that ladies have. Whenever they're asking a question, they can either throw the falling tone car or they can throw a high tone on it because it seems like it might be easier to say, Come down my car instead of Tom die my car. I'm sure it's situational anyway. So Tom done my cup means can you can you or are you able to do that? That's the question. Let's break this down. Tom, flat tone. Tom means to do. And then as we said just a second ago, die falling means can or able. So tom di means can do or yeah, I'm able. Right. As you as you probably remember, when you put a rising tone on any statement, the statement becomes a question. So if my statement is, I can do or can do Tom die or do can write with a question with the My, it makes it a question. So tom di, meaning I can do it. Or it can be done. Tom dy becomes, can it be done Tom die? Question mark? Because my operates as a question word. It kinda takes place the question mark there. And then of course at the end because you're a follow-on and I'm a foot-long, most likely meaning foreigner. And we want to be polite and Thailand. And so we're going to say cup at the end of every sentence, if for a man or if we're a female. So I'm going to say, Come down my cup and ladies going to say Tom that mica or cough. And there they are. The polite particles, cup for men and for women. Roughly translates into sir, ma'am, It's just it's just that it's a word that just makes the sentence polite. So what we have here is, can you, are you able that's this question, Tom down my cup. Can you do that? Are you able Well, how would you answer yes to that? You can say Chai CHAARTED Chai falling tone is yes in Thai or you can answer. Dy I can, can, can do. So. Somebody says timed MI, you can say di, di, di, di di di di di di di COP. Okay. Thank you guys. So all three of our instructors that are answered, I can do that. I said Can you do it? Are you able? And they said yes, I'm able. And I'm sure that you noticed that Daisy used a different flight particle, the two men. Okay. So now if we're gonna say no, I can't, You would say my remember my falling tone. It means no. My rising tone is a question word, but my falling means no. Nowhere can't. So if somebody asked you the question, can you do it to him down my cup? You can't. You'd say my die. No, I can't my die. You could also say my Chae, but my diet would be more accurate in this situation because you're saying no, I can't or no, I'm not able. My dy both of those falling tones. My di, di, di, di, di, di, di made. I mean, I hope I expect that you're speaking out loud as you're watching these videos. Repeating after me, repeating after the instructors, without me prompting you because you're sincere about learning. And this is the way that you do it is you repeat out loud because you're just hearing it inside of your head. It means you're just thinking about Thai. Getting it in your eyeballs and your ears and out your mouth means that you're actually speaking and you're starting to think in Thai. 24. Can I buy this thing: Can I buy this thing? Home, food, sing, need, die my palm? Or if you're a female, what are you going to say? Correct? Chan or De Chan. Fu, high tone. And then low tone. Sing poem sue saying Me is a high tone. And then die my falling tone, rising tone. Tell him I poem to sing me dynamite. There are your tones, lovely things that they are. And you need to get the tones correct. Or my friend, the Thai people will not understand you. That's the voice of experience. Home thing. Nee die. My POMC. See me. They may need I'm I seeing me. My, seeing me, my senses. He needed my palm. Rising tone poem means me. That's its primary meaning. It also has a secondary usage. If you're talking about hair, like I just got a haircut. You've ever gone to that place again, right? Rising tone means me or I, if you're a male and it means hair. So if you're a guy, you could say pom, pom meaning my hair. Or if you're female, you could say a poem Chun, meaning my hair. High tone, is to buy, to purchase, to pay for. Thing. Rhymes with thing. And guess what? Saying means thing. Sing low tone. Here's my normal voice and I sing right? Saying means a thing. Knee high tone. So seeing me is this thing because me is this I guess this is a good time. It's just I don't know if I'd put it in put it in the presentation or not. But just for your edification, me me. Me means this, right? This none means that one. None. So me, none and known and I couldn't find I can't find known written anywhere and all my dictionaries and stuff. I just have not been able to find that works. I don't even know how to spell it. Right. And tie me means here. This one none means is that one unknown means is that one way over there? Thompson, sing me, dynamite. Would be kinda buy this thing. Poems, Seeing none, they might, would be kept by that thing. And if I want to buy that thing way the snot over there, It's poem sourcing non them. I, there you go. There it is. The very next slide. Poesis thing, none, dynamite. Can I buy that thing there? That's a little further away, known as way over there. Known. So ni none and known. Okay. Dy is can or able die, die. And then my makes everything a question that came before it. So poem, so seeing the dye would be, I'm sorry, my tone was off on that a little bit. Poem sourcing me di, means I can buy this thing. Like if I have enough money to buy it, I'm telling my friend, yeah, I got enough money to buy this thing. I can say that, right? I can buy this, but then I throw a mite on the end. That makes it a question. So now I'm asking the proprietor of the place, can I buy this? Because this for sale. Okay. Right. Right. Dynamite. Home. Seeing me die. My knee, my confusing need. I my time. Seeing me. My thing, me. My sensor using neither my poem, seeing my palms, seeing me die my palm, Susie need MI. So repeat after me. Holmes loosing me, done, am I? Poem supressing knee down my cup. Now if you're a female, you're saying chances seeing Ni Di Micah. One more time. Poems to sing me dynamite. Palms facing need MI. Very good. Onward. 25. Do You Understand?: Wow, talk about an important lesson. Do you understand? You're going to say that I imagine you can guess the situations in which you would say that you're gonna be talking to people. And they may have a blank a blank look on their face and you're gonna say, do you understand to clarify it, or there'll be talking to you and they'll see a blank look on your face and they'll ask you, Do you understand it? Either way? You're going to need to know how to say this right? Couch and my cup. If you're a man and Cas9 mica. If you're a girl, Get a pencil here and we'll take a moment to mark up these tones. This, this is one word right here. Cao. Cao. Cao is a falling tone, GI flat tone, so that's your normal tone of voice. So Cao, Cao Dai, next word is my, it's a rising tone. My voice goes down and then comes back up. So cowed, GI, falling tone, flat tone. And then of course, you know your flight particles. If you're a man, high tone cop, and if you're a woman, and of course the exception for a woman is if she is asking a question, she has the option to say high tone as well. Alright. Those are the tones. How I, my house, I, my, my, how dye my hair I would say my cow GI means to understand caliber, die. Now that's actually two words mashed together. Cow means to enter, to reach, to get into, okay, cow, falling tone, cow. And then GI means your heart, your mind, your spirit. Cow, Jamie's, it has entered your heart, meaning, you know, you got it right, you understand. And then my rising tone, that acts as a question word because they don't have the question mark and Thailand They don't use that. You see the top line there, the Thai script, no question mark. So they use words, question words like, well, we use question words in English too, like who, what, when, where, why, and how. Those can be used as question words, right? So the first definition does not translate into English, but it makes it a question. It makes it a question word. Cow means to understand and cow JMI means Do you understand because it turned it into a question. And as you know, probably the second meaning for the word mite is silk. It's a little bit of ear training. Shelly. How? My my my my my, my my Cao Dai, my time I saw repeat after me if you would. College, I am Mike up Cao Dai, my cup couch and my cup. Now you saw I saw, I said Cup without an R and I said cup with a slight rolling Are you can even say crop if you want. All of those are just fine. And ladies, of course, you made the necessary change in that, right. 26. Do you speak English or not: Do you speak English or not? Now, that sounds a little rude in English. Not rude and TY. Okay. And you'll see why once we're into this corn put on grit, but I plow. Okay, Taking a look at the words, Kuhn, flat tone. Kuhn, who pulled falling tone. Next word is pus saw, par, saw. So flat tone, rising tone, past saw. Our next word will be on get it on grit, flat tone, low tone on grit, on grit. One of my favorite words in the Thai language. It adds some real utility and flexibility to your speech. So rising tone. We're of course going to talk about that in a moment. And then final word, low tone. Blau. Please allow port fy dy file code and the file path to the file colon. The first word is you. Okay. Kuhn, flat tone. You it means Mr. and Mrs. Miss Ms. what have you poured falling tone to talk to speak to say to chat. Okay, so cool and puede is you speak pasa, means language, par saw. And I really do hope that you're following along and speaking out loud. That's the way that this moves from being a purely academic exercise to you transforming into someone who speaks the language. Speak out loud that way. It comes in your ears and in your eyeballs. And it goes through your brain and processes and comes out your mouth. And, you know, that's a whole lot about a whole big part of speaking a language is the speaking part. I guess I don't really need to tell you that, but out loud blazer or allowed as my third grade English speaker or a teacher would have told me. Okay. So pause saw his language on grit on grit as English. Pasa on grit is the English language. A Han on grit would be English food, not that you would want to eat it. But I take on-grid would be the nation of England, right? Rotate nation and on-grid being English. We could have indeed ended the sentence right there. Because it's a question word. We've seen question words before. They don't use the question mark and tie and indicates that what went before it is a question, but it also specifically means meaning as an isn't. Isn't that right? I'll see what I have written here. A question particle used when expecting the answer to be confirmed as true, right? So means like, isn't that right? It's kinda how I would write that down and make a note to myself and that's probably how I did write it down when I learned it. But it means or is a question word and you're expecting the answer to be the affirmative. So in this question, completed per saw on grit means I expect that you speak English. Is that correct? Okay. And then Blau, low tone. Blau means no, not Blau. Blau also has kind of a feeling of finality to it. Like, Would you like a pizza Made with cauliflower crust and, and arugula and asparagus and anchovies and tuna on your pizza. Blau, right? Not only no, but ****, no. It's not quite like that, but it gives you a real feeling of finality when you say Blau, this little softer when you do a plow, corn and die. Please allow port. I would flip die file. That file. Okay, so they're just, just to touch on what Kuhn blog did. Is he put a dye in there, right? And die, as you may remember, means can or able. So he's asking this person, not do speak Thai. But can you speak Thai? So it's a nuance, right? It's are you able to speak Thai or not? Okay. Just a subtlety. Both are correct. Code and file. Kuhn who have poor pass on grid Lao and pass it to plow on Creative Cloud. So repeat after me. Please. Call input parser on-grid Blau. Cool input parser on-grid Blau. And you can even add the plight particle on the end so you can throw cop or caught on the end of that complete parser on-grid Blau cup. More time. Kuhn put pasta on Blau cop. Very nice. Oh, you know what? Also, I'll tell you sometimes you hear as law with an L, right? Is that fried rice flied lives thing, but people of oriental things still. Oriental means Eastern. Occidental means Western, so I see no offense in it. So, so oriental people will very often in Thai and you've heard other languages too. I'm sure we'll substitute the LMR interchangeably. You'll hear that a lot in Thai. You'll hear this word as law and you'll hear cup as clop. What else? An endless opportunity to use that substitution if you wish. But it happens and just be aware of it. And if you as a foreigner, I wouldn't use it because sometimes it's frowned upon. And sometimes the people who do that substitute the L's and R's can be considered lower-class people or peasants. It seems to be more prevalent. But, well, Kuhn blog does it on occasion. Do all people who teach at the university, are they professors? I believe block is though an associate professor or whatever. Okay. Alright, that's it. Onward. 27. That's Very Interesting: That is very interesting. Nas on jam mug cup or Nas on gem mug car, if you're a female. Falling tone. Second word, Sanjay, saw rising tone and GI, flat tone. So fungi. Third word, mock, falling down MOD. And then of course you're polite particles. If you're a male, you're saying cop with a high tone and car with a falling tone. So in my last one, my nasa, nasa, and the first word in the sentence is an interesting word and probably one of the hardest words I'm going to, at least in this course, tried to explain to you because it has three meanings, all of which you see there say in DT, NDT is my notation that says not directly translatable to English. So there are indeed three versions of this word, are three sets of meanings of this word that don't directly translate. Now we've already seen not as a high tone, which is a word of endearment that makes things gentler, engineering or persuasive and the same with this word. No longer stretched out and falling tone. That's one of the meanings that doesn't translate to English. The second version of this word, which you will probably hear even more of than what's considered to be the first primary translate relation of this word, which also does not, again, translate directly into English, is a prefix to make an object mean to be worthy of. Not, let's say, let's say the word to love rock, right? So if someone a girl that you are kind of affectionate towards is not OK, she's lovable. That's the best version of an explanation I can give you that. So you take a noun and you put not in front of it and the person becomes that to be worthy of love. Then the third version of this in DT, not directly translatable, is loosely as in should you had better or to be. But that's a rare use. And again, not translatable. So there you have it. If I were you and you can only wrap your mind around one little thing on this. I would say, I would go with version number two there to make a verb or adjective to be worthy of, especially, you'll hear not a lot. So the next word we're gonna look at is so fungi. Fungi means interesting. So fungi, fungi can be broken into two parts. There's a compound word where they take two words and smash them together to make a third word. Fungi. Song means to be interested in, to be of interest or to be interesting. And then GI, flat tone means your heart, your mind, and your spirit. So fungi means you have an interest at heart or interesting. Your heart has interest in this thing. On j means you're interested in that. Mark. You will hear this word 1,000 zillion times. In Thailand, MOG, falling tone, it means, it means a lot are very much MOD. This k right here, at the end of this word MOD is the god guy symbol. And it's that, that's a hard k. It almost sounds like us going into a g. So if that were to go into a G and then go directly to a K, Martin? That's the best description I can give you for it. Okay. Now you'll hear people say merc, merc, merc, merc. And you're not quite sure what they're saying is because they're saying that GK sound. Alright. So nasa, nasa side, my last one, my last one. Di, di, di mat. So repeat after me if you would, and use your appropriate applied particle. No, so on gem mug cup. Now so in GI mug cup. One more time. Now, so on gem mug, cup. It's very interesting. 28. What Type of Work Do You Do?: The type of work do you do? Quinton non, but I pay my cup or car. Kuhn has no tone marker over the top, so that's a flat tone. Tom. Two syllables. Same thing, too, flat tones. But there's a low tone, cooling tongue on pay falling tone. And then NIH is a rising tone. Kuhn Tongan, but I paid Nika. Yeah. And Nyae. Nyae. Nyae. Nyae. Nyae. Nyae. Corn. You Mr. Mrs. Ms. Tongue means work. Ptarmigan actually breaks right here. Tom. And then you start the second part with nan. So that means to do Tom and non means work. But your actual work like what type of work as an analogy, it would be toggling on. But paid means a type, a sort, a category. But low tone, pay, falling tone, but pay. And then night is a question word. It means what? It acts as a question mark, but it means whichever one which somewhere, anywhere, that sort of thing. But what it does is it turns Whatever you said before it into a question. 999-999-9999. Head Nike. Nike. Nike. So if you don't mind, why don't you repeat after me cooling tongue. But I paid nine cop corn. Tom. But I paid cop one more. Cool. And Tom Nolen, but I paid nice cup. 29. How Long Will You Be in Thailand?: How long will you be in Thailand? I'm sure someone will ask you that. Corn you more time. Non town, I cop. Coupon, flat tone, you low tone, Hmong, tie, all of that is flat. Non. That's also a flat tone or your normal voice. Tau xy splits right here, right? Let me split it all the way down. Tau, first half is falling tone tau, and then it's flat. So Kuhn you long time non tower I cop or Kuhn, you Hmong tie non tau high car. Horn. You. Hi. How are you? Hi, nine town I knew mankind and hold I when you hi, my nine. How? But I knew we untie my non polarized can you man came in on her, right. Okay. As we saw right here, Kuhn block inserted the word mock, flat tone. And it means to come. So he just, he changed his sentence up a little bit. And it works both ways. My non means to come in, be there for awhile. So that's what that's what he wrote. That's what he said. But it's correct the way that it's written and it's correct the way that he said it too. But I figured you might have just noticed that. I hope you did. Let's take a look at this word by word. Kuhn means you. It also means Mr. and Mrs. and miss. And then you low tone means to be at, to live at and to stay at, also has a second meaning. That means the verb is happening now, even as we speak, which you'll see some sentences later on in other lessons that illustrate that. Morning Thai, Thailand, Hmong tie. You can split this word right and half. Wrong means nation timings, liberty or freedom. So it's the land of the free or the nation of free men. Non means long, or it means long time. Non flat tone. Tau by tau, right? How long, how much, how many Tau is falling? And if I is flat tone, in this case means how long. And it also acts as the question word, which is the replacement for the question mark. Because the Thai do not use the question mark. So they have question words and tau, right? Is one of those question words. You hi. How are you? Hi. How are you? Hi, my nine. How? But I knew when tie my nine. Alright. Alright. You move on. Tight. Non tau. Try. New high tower. I knew maintenance. So repeat after me. If you would. Corn, you munge, tie, non towel dry cough. Kuhn, you mourn tie non, towered by cup. And I'm going to say at once like the ladies would say it. Kuhn, you move on time non towered. I of course you remember that ladies have the option here on the one they're asking a question. They're polite particle can be either a falling tone, which is what it is in every other single instance. But if it's a question and it, and it makes it where it's not tongue twister. Ladies can put a high tone on that too. So it could be cool, new, long time, non tad ICA or corneum long time non tat ICA. 30. May I Introduce...?: I request to make the introduction in order that you are acquainted with. Or in other words, may I introduce to you, Take heart, this lesson is not as awful as it might look like it's going to be awfuls, not even a good word. This is a very, very, very useful sentence that you will be using. And often he does. Kuhn blog gives us a slightly different version. And I'm not going to decipher it for you because you are now to the point that you can understand what he says, You'll be able to tell the difference of how he says it. Because we're going to look at the words. And then you'll be able to piece them together and say, oh, I see what he did there. This is like how the real-world works when you're there and Thailand and you're listening to people. People say the same things, different ways with slight variations. Let's be a great exercise for you to see the variation that Kuhn bladders and then just decipher on your own. There'll be a lot of fun. So let's look at this. It looks like there's a lot of moving parts and they're kind of is but it's nothing that you are not equipped to handle. Call high net nom to a high Kuhn root job cup. And right here, a name would go in here right after root job. Let me get my pen. First word. Call high, rising tone, falling tone. Call high. Net, nom, nom. This word, you tighten your thrown up just a little bit. ***. ***. Falling tone. Per. Next word, falling tone as well. Hi, Kuhn is flat and then the last word, root Chuck, high tone, low tone in that word. Who Chuck call high net numb to the high cooling. Who job. Those are the tones. Alright, so this is Kuhn, blah, and he's gonna do it just slightly different. You may actually want to run the lesson back after we do the definition of the words and see the slight and sell changes that he did. You'll be able to hear them right now. But you'll, you'll know the wording once we once we do the definitions that NAM NAG NAM, hey Cody. Now, but he couldn't do that. Hi. Yeah. Hi. Hi. Yeah. Hi. Dark. Cool. Hi, Nana. Call means to ask, to request or to beg. High has four meetings to offer to give, to let someone do something, but let somebody have something. And the word call high is kind of like, I'm requesting permission to do this thing often from the universe light. May the gods be with you? Some thing like that, some flourishes, flowery thing. But it's used quite often call high net num means to introduce, to recommend, to advise. Net num. Call high net num means may I introduce? So if I wanted to, I could just say call high net Nam June. So may I introduce June if I knew a lady named named June, which I actually I do called Nom June. This is the flowery part in order that you may know to the high corn root jot. An order that you may know. Haiku Andrew job means an order that or an order to hi there hi, makes it graceful, too high. So that in order that you have been given, are given. In other word Kuhn, it means you or it means Mr. or Mrs. or myths or Ms. and then the root job, whose job is to know a person grew is to know, but it's to know a thing or to know something. Like if you are wrong, you know a story. Meaning you're savvy, you're in the know. If you can own a soak, you know the road, a Silk Road, right? You know where it is. But if you reject something as a person, so you route Chuck, June, because I just introduced you. Now that you've seen those words. Listen to how Kuhn block changes it just a little bit to shorten it. It's, this is a little less formal and you can use either num, high coordinates, rho, car, net NAM. Hey Cody cornet and he couldn't do tap. Hello. Hi, Nat. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Yeah. Hi. Gone through dark. Call. Hey, hey, call hand and repeat after me. If you would. Call high Vietnam for the high clone root job cop, call high net num. So high corn Gu Jack can call high net non polar, high cone root jot cop. Call high net non for the high Kuhn Gu Jack fan poem. Try that. That's may I, may I introduce to you so that you know, my my girlfriend call high net non for the high congruent job, fan poem or car if you're a woman. One more time, slowly. Call high net num plus the high corner root jar. 31. I Am Allergic: I am allergic. I'm allergic. This is this is an important one, right? Because if you're allergic to something that could be disastrous if you were to be exposed to it. Palm pack or Chun path. The tone is pretty easy. You got your basic personal pronouns there and pat is a high tone, Pat. Home. Home. Time. Of course, we know the personal pronouns by now, Pullman Chun for male and female. And Pat is allergic. Had sudden Pat. Pom pom pom pom pom pom pom, pom Pat. Palm pack. 32. He / She is Allergic to Peanuts: He or she is allergic to peanuts. And of course you already know the personal pronouns. So you could also say, I am allergic to peanuts. Again, 80% of the cooking that happens on Thailand as a minimum, I'm guessing, either has peanuts as a garnish, peanuts as a main ingredient, or it's fried in peanut oil. So if that's something that concerns you, you really need to know how to say this. And it's nice to know if it's if there's somebody else from your party that's allergic to peanuts and other things I have like penicillin and soy and shellfish and those other lessons are on the way. But this is something very important to know. Cow pat to Alley song. Of course, you can tell the polite particle on the end if you want cow pat to a least song, let's look at these tones. Cow. That's a rising tone. Cow. Second word. Pat, high tone. Third word is this cluster right here, three syllables to as low tone. Lee is high tone, and then song is rising to a lease on. So the way the tones go in this sentence is cow pat to at least song. How to lead? How had a song called path already saw how PAT, so how Pat, how pastoralist, so on. So the first word in that sentence says Cao. Cao, with a rising tone. It means he, she, him, her, them, they, it can also mean hill or a mountain. You will hear that. But mainly it means he issued them, They, him, her, et cetera. Allergic Pat. Hi tone to a least song is a peanut to a-list song is a peanut. And there are lots of people are allergic to peanuts. And there are a lot of peanuts in Thailand. How, how, how pastoralist, so how to lead how patois, stone, cold path or lethal towel. 2oth, ni hao pad to our lead song called pod toilets on. So repeat after me. Cow path to a lease on cow pat to at least song cop. You know what? Let's just forget the flight particles at the end because this is so important. I don't want to confuse you with the extra words. Let's just drop the cup and the car on the off, off, off the end of this. Because this is so important. Cow pat to a least song. Let's say it again. Cow pat to a-list song. So, you know, now how to say he or she or them, or they are allergic to peanuts. You also know how to say, I am allergic to peanuts. If you're a guy, you're gonna say poem Pat to a-list song. That means I, a guy and allergic to peanuts or a female would be chon Pat to a-list song. If you are allergic to something that I didn't do, a lesson on which it is highly likely. You just need to find that word out and you can plug it in here. Alright, very good. 33. Please Go To The Hospital: Please go to the hospital, churn by wrong Pi bond. This would be something worth memorizing, wouldn't it? Chun by wrong path? Yeah, Banza, please go to the hospital. Not many tones in this one. Only everything is flat tone, right? Chosen by wrong, except here we get a high tone. Yeah, BON, both flat tones and then stop at the end. So the, the, the, the song list goes dadadadada data. So shunned by wrong part, you have an SOP churn. The first word churn is kind of like churn, churn, butter, churn, but there's more of a unit than an ER. Churn means please. That means to invite. It means you're trying to persuade somebody. It's a kind word. Write your imploring somebody. You're asking please, by all means to go by. And that's a hard BP right there, hard hit by wrong. Yvonne, wrong Pi bond is a hospital. And then SOP does not have a direct English translation, but it's a command word with some urgency. Like an exclamation point is how I have it drawn. Here is a word that's kind of the verbal version of an explanation point. It does kinda make the sentence harder. We've seen the word not in a that makes the word softer. So if you're trying to talk to your girlfriend and to go into the hospital, and she doesn't want to go and you're being sweet to or you can say Chun by a wrong potty Urbana. Please not come on. Now, not come on. But saw is a command word. Do it, do it. Okay. So I think you would get the message across churn in treating somebody and then exclamation point at the end. So that's why I wrote it like this. Trend by a wrong path here, bandsaw, that would get you there. Wrong Pi, bond is a hospital and we can break that to a couple of words. Number one is wrong. Wrong means building, or it means house, but it's usually a building of some size, like a wrong green would be a school, or on land would be hotel. Obama be a hospital. So they're often, not always, but they're often referring to buildings that have some size to them. Yvonne is a nurse, a nurse and actual person who is a nurse. That's the noun of that. Now, if you want the verb like to nurse somebody, that's a different word, that's like soft palate, you ban. But OK, saw potty a bond. That means to nurse or to care for somebody. Like sorry, I'm used to treat or to care for. So repeat after me if you would. Turn by wrong potty or bonanza. Chen by wrong pipe, Yvon saw one more time. Chun by a wrong pot. Yeah, Bond saw. This would be something that would be really good to memorize. Because if you need it, you need it and you don't want it to be stumbling for words. 34. Wrap Up: Well, you've done it. Proud of you. Nice job. No easy feat. You know, you're, you're, you're really twist in your brain and twist in your tongue and really doing something difficult. Learning another language is, boy is like learning a whole nother language. But I love that. I love that joke from Steve Martin who says, Those French people, man, they have a different word for everything. Here you are not only learning a different language, but learning something that has almost zero in common with English. Really, really proud of you. Congratulations. I'll be putting up more units. This was just the first. And I look forward to doing this with you again.
