How to make a question in Thai

 

 

you can use some possibilities in order to make a question in Thai

 

 

 

using WH question words like what where who etc.

using question particles 

In this post I'll speak about Q-particle and how to answer it.

You can change an statement to a question simply by adding MAI (ไหม) at the end :

• do you eat food?          (kon) gin kaow mai?  ( (คุณ) กินข้าวไหม? )

 YES:   gin( กิน )         NO:  *mai gin (ไม่กิน)

• Will you go?                  (kon) ja bay mai?   ( (คุณ)จะไปไหม? )

YES:    bay (ไป)               NO:   *mai bay(ไม่ไป)

• do you drink Coffee?     (kon)  deem coffee mai? ( (คุณ)ดื่ม กาแฟไหม? )

 YES:  deem                NO: *mai deem (ไม่ดื่ม)


-  as you noticed when we want to make negative answer we use Mai  as well but if you hear them (just copy and past in google translate to listen ) or see them in Thai alphabets
then you will see the intonation and writing is not same

Here I tried  to explain it let me know if you find it helpful :)
