Listen to Kat teaches Thai Episode 2
As a recap from last episode, I taught you how to say sa-wad-dee, which means hello and good bye. I also taught you how to say sa-bye-dee-mai, which means how are you?
As I mentioned, you do not have to add the word krub or ka at the end of the phrases. Make a habit of saying them anyway to make the phrases sound polite.
I teach you how to say kob-koon, which means thank you. The word "kob" is the same as the word "cob". The word "koon" uses the "u" sound in "could".
I also teach you how to say pobe-gun-mai, which means to meet again. The word "pobe" rhymes with "pope". The word "gun" is like the word "gun". The word "mai" rhymes with the word "pie". The word "pobe-gun" means to meet. The word "mai" means new. When you put both meanings together, you form a phrase, to meet again.
Do not mistake last episode's "mai" and this episode's "mai" as the same word. When you write them out in English, you spell them the same way, but they both have different tones. This episode's "mai" has a lower tone and means "new". Last episode's "mai" has a higher tone and you put it at the end of the phrases to form questions.
