If it is a information seeking question: ไหม / มัีย - repeat the verb or adjective รึเปล่า (or ป่ะ in casual spoken Thai) - repeat the verb or adjective เหรอ - repeat the verb or adjective ( รึเปล่า is more direct than ไหม and demands a yes/no answer) ( เหรอ is put at the end to show surprise/curiosity when asking a question) ( เหรอ is also used when you assume something and you seek confirmation for something that you already believe is true) Examples with ไหม/มััย: Is she beautiful? เขาสวยไหม A: สวย or ไม่ สวย Is this food spicy? เผ็ดไหม A: เผ็ด or ไม่เผ็ด Examples with รึเปล่า: Are you hungry? หิวรึเปล่า A: หิว or ไม่หิว Are you sure? แน่ใจรึเปล่า A: แน่ใจ or ไม่แน่ใจ Do you like Thai food? ชอบอาหารไทยรึเปล่า A: ชอบ or ไม่ชอบ Examples with เหรอ: Really? จริงเหรอ A: จริง ไม่จาิง Are you hungry already? (We just ate!) หิวแล้วเหรอ A: หิว or ไม่หิว (You see your friend yawn and ask) Are you sleepy? ง่วงเหรอ ง่วง or ไม่ง่วง Are you not feeling well? ไม่สบายเหรอ A: ไม่สบาย or สบาย
I once had quite an argument with a friend who was mocking "ไม่ใช่ " as meaning "no yes " until I suggested that "not correct " would be a closer translation of the two words.
Good info…..sometimes when someone is asking me a clarifying question such as ‘do you understand?’ (Khun kow chai mai’) I simply respond by nodding my head and saying ‘krap’ or ka pom’….a bit informal but it works …
I hear the /rer/ particle pronounced as /law/ a lot. Sometimes it gets used by itself where an English speaker might say, "really?" in disbelief or surprise.
I learned writing Thai letters with the video from thaipod101. Great video! The first 50 minutes are on UA-cam and you learn the most common letters there. Then you can go to their homepage for the rest. You don't have to pay anything.

When do you respond with ใช่ ? Use ใช่ (or ไม่ใช่ ) when the question is asked with ใช่ไหม / ใช่มั้ย (right? Isn't it?) Examples: The Thai language is difficult, right? The Thai language is difficult, isn't it? ุภาษาไทยยากใช่ไหม A: ใช่ ( ใช่ ยากมากๆ! or ใช่ ยำกเลย!) or ไม่ใช่ ( ไม่ใช่ ง่ายมาก! or ไม่ใช่ กล้วย ๆ ) You are from Bangkok, right? คุณเป็นคนกรุงเทพฯใช่ไม่ A: ใช่ or ไม่ใช่
great video! i have a question what if the question is: Have you slept yet? it doesnt have any of those 3 and it doesnr have Chai either. i usually respond to it by (yes) chai but should i use the verb method instead?
Ok, I admit I'm a little confused. I thought I had this figured out from your presentation. But I have a book called "Learn Thai" by Thanapol Chadchaidee, Ph.D. and Sam Sackett, Ph.D. that has some examples that I'd like to ask about that don't seem to follow your rules: Do you think it will rain? Yes, I think it will rain. คุณดิดว่าฝนจะตกไหม ใช่ผมดิดว่ามันจะตก Have you ever been a monk? Yes, I was ordained. คุณเคยบวชพระหรือเปล่า ใช่ผมเคยบวช Have you noticed any blood in your stools? Yes, I’ve observed (some). คุณได้สังเกตเลือดในอุจจาระของคุณหรือเปล่า ใช่ผมสังเกต Have your stools been black? Yes, they have. อุจจาระของคุณสีดำหรือเปล่า ใช่ มีสีดำ Would you like an ATM card? Yes, please.คุณอยากได้บัตรเอทีเอ็มหรือเปล่า ใช่ครับ Is this length satisfactory? (at the hair stylist shop) Yes, that will be fine. ยาวแค่นี้พอใจไหม ใช่ครับ So, obviously these questions end in ไหม or รูเปล่า (หรือเปล่า) and yet Thanapol Chadchaidee answers them with ใช่ format. Thus, I'm confused.
There are also "responses to observations" category that are like these: This has been a cold winter. Yes, it has. นี่เป็นฤดูหนาวที่หนาวจริงๆ ใช่ครับ (more a response to a statement than to a question) It’s a nice day, isn’t it? วันนิ้อากาศดีนะครับ ใช่ครับ (more a response to a statement than to a question) There has been a lot of rain this rainy season. มีฝนตกมากในฤดูฝนนี้ ใช่ครับ (more a response to a statement than to a question) It’s been very cold this winter. มันหนาวมากเลยฤดูหนาวนี้ ใช่ครับ (more a response to a statement than to a question) But I think these are a separate category, since they don't ask questions with ไหม or รูเปล่า (หรือเปล่า) - They are more responses to observations, so I don't expect them to follow the rules of how to respond to questions.
The format of those example sentences in the book is correct as well. But it's too formal because it's a word-for-word translation of a sentence from English to Thai. in general talk commonly used shortened form. example from your book In real talk, it will be Do you think it will rain? I think it will. คุณดิดว่าฝนจะตกไหม ตกซิ Have you ever been a monk? I was. คุณเคยบวชพระหรือเปล่า ผมเคย Have you noticed any blood in your stools? I have. คุณได้สังเกตเลือดในอุจจาระของคุณหรือเปล่า สังเกตุครับ Have your stools been black? they have. อุจจาระของคุณสีดำหรือเปล่า มีครับ Would you like an ATM card? I want it.คุณอยากได้บัตรเอทีเอ็มหรือเปล่า อยากได้ครับ Is this length satisfactory? (at the hair stylist shop) fine. ยาวแค่นี้พอใจไหม ครับ
@@ThaiwithMod Thanks for the clarification. I understand. It isn't modern Thai. No one speaks that way today. English: "I don't think anyone speaks that way." (don't think.... no one.... = double negative in English, which isn't correct..... so we say, "I don't think anyone...") I just add this to help your English. Thanks for your great lessons.

This lesson was useful thanks
Thank you so much na khrap 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for watching ka. :)
Hi Kru Pear, Thank-You so much for the meaningful and proper way to use the YES /NO question simple and detailed easy to understand.
Thank you so much for clarifying this. I have been trying to understand this for a while and you made it very easy to understand.
Good info…..sometimes when someone is asking me a clarifying question such as ‘do you understand?’ (Khun kow chai mai’) I simply respond by nodding my head and saying ‘krap’ or ka pom’….a bit informal but it works …
Many thanks , it makes life a lot easier for us English speaking people to see English spelling in relation to the Thai pronunciation
Thanh you so much
I hear the /rer/ particle pronounced as /law/ a lot. Sometimes it gets used by itself where an English speaker might say, "really?" in disbelief or surprise.
Very helpful. Thank you!
This really helps . Thank you 👐
Very awesome, thank u 😊
Can you, please, film a video about how to write Thai letters?
I learned writing Thai letters with the video from thaipod101. Great video! The first 50 minutes are on UA-cam and you learn the most common letters there. Then you can go to their homepage for the rest. You don't have to pay anything.

ขอบคุณครับครู! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank Kru
When do you respond with ใช่ ?
Use ใช่ (or ไม่ใช่ ) when the question is asked with ใช่ไหม / ใช่มั้ย (right? Isn't it?)
Examples:
The Thai language is difficult, right? The Thai language is difficult, isn't it?
ุภาษาไทยยากใช่ไหม
A: ใช่ ( ใช่ ยากมากๆ! or ใช่ ยำกเลย!) or ไม่ใช่ ( ไม่ใช่ ง่ายมาก! or ไม่ใช่ กล้วย ๆ )
You are from Bangkok, right? คุณเป็นคนกรุงเทพฯใช่ไม่
A: ใช่ or ไม่ใช่
Are these types the only ones for questions ?
great video!
i have a question
what if the question is:
Have you slept yet?
it doesnt have any of those 3 and it doesnr have Chai either.
i usually respond to it by (yes) chai but should i use the verb method instead?
but learning Thai is difficult!
speaking it correctly is super hard!
and understanding the natives is impossible :)
Wow, good information.
saying r is not common. R is pronounced l. Correct me if Im wrong
In conversation, what is the difference between chai mai and chai ba? I hear chai ba much more often.
It means the same thing, but "chai ba" is slang.
Chai mai means am i right? / right?
Chai ba means oh really? / really?
chai mai is formal , chai pa is colloquialism
Good luck 👍
thank you.
I will need it^^
I only hear lazy talk for RER, my wife and friends say Lor....
What is the difference between “yes” and “use” in Thai? 🙏🏼
Yes is falling tone, use is high tone
2 different tone are used.
Yes: ใช่ Initial consonant ช low class + first tone mark = falling tone. Use: ใช้ Initial consonant ช low class + second tone mark = high tone.
I hear “Rer” a lot as “lor”
I have never heard a native thai use "rue-bplaao". They use mai. But maybe on tv/movies they use "rue-bplaao"
Thai people like to shorten word, so you prabably don't hear "rue-bplaao" because we only say "bplaao". :)
Chai is not yes, Chai=true, paa-saa tai yaak chai-mai=thai language is hard, is it true? mai chai=not true
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
R... what ?
Thank you I say that all the time, yikes. Most Thais say KHa or Khrap.
so complicate, difficult to figure out
My lady just says Urgh
2:46 suai mak mak
Im guilty lol
Chai + Mai = Chammai
Similar to Are + Not = Ain't

Have you noticed any blood in your stools? Yes, I’ve observed (some). คุณได้สังเกตเลือดในอุจจาระของคุณหรือเปล่า ใช่ผมสังเกต
Have your stools been black? Yes, they have. อุจจาระของคุณสีดำหรือเปล่า ใช่ มีสีดำ
Would you like an ATM card? Yes, please.คุณอยากได้บัตรเอทีเอ็มหรือเปล่า ใช่ครับ

Have you ever been a monk? I was. คุณเคยบวชพระหรือเปล่า ผมเคย
Have you noticed any blood in your stools? I have. คุณได้สังเกตเลือดในอุจจาระของคุณหรือเปล่า สังเกตุครับ
Have your stools been black? they have. อุจจาระของคุณสีดำหรือเปล่า มีครับ
Would you like an ATM card? I want it.คุณอยากได้บัตรเอทีเอ็มหรือเปล่า อยากได้ครับ
Is this length satisfactory? (at the hair stylist shop) fine. ยาวแค่นี้พอใจไหม ครับ
@@MrX-wg9hx Thanks so much! So the use of ใช่ that the book has isn't necessarily wrong, but it is too formal for everyday conversation.
The use of ใช่ in your examples is for emphasis the answer "yes", but I don't think no one speaks that way in modern days anymore.
@@ThaiwithMod Thanks for the clarification. I understand. It isn't modern Thai. No one speaks that way today. English: "I don't think anyone speaks that way." (don't think.... no one.... = double negative in English, which isn't correct..... so we say, "I don't think anyone...") I just add this to help your English. Thanks for your great lessons.
