| Oh, hi! Sorry, Iโm studying. Welcome back to Thai Top Words! Iโm Jay and today, weโll be doing top 10 school subjects. Okay, letโs get started. |
| 1. เธ เธฒเธฉเธฒเนเธเธข (phaa-sฤa thai) "Thai" |
| The first word of course - เธ เธฒเธฉเธฒเนเธเธข (phaa-sฤa thai) "Thai". |
| เธ เธฒเธฉเธฒเนเธเธขเธขเธฒเธเธกเธฒเธ (phaa-sฤa thai yรขak mรขak) "Thai is very difficult." |
| Is it? Okay the word - เธ เธฒเธฉเธฒเนเธเธข (phaa-sฤa thai), เธ เธฒเธฉเธฒ (phaa-sฤa) means โlanguageโ and เนเธเธข (thai) means โThaiโ so together, โThai languageโ. So do you like Thai language or do you think it is difficult? Just let me know. |
| 2. เธงเธดเธเธฒเธจเธดเธฅเธเธฐ (wรญ-chaa sวn-lรก-bpร ) "art" |
| เนเธเนเธ เน เธเธญเธเนเธฃเธตเธขเธเธงเธดเธเธฒเธจเธดเธฅเธเธฐ (dรจk dรจk chaฬawp riian wรญ-chaa sวn-lรก-bpร ) "Kids like studying art." |
| I like it too. It was my favorite subject in school actually. So for this word - เธงเธดเธเธฒเธจเธดเธฅเธเธฐ (wรญ-chaa sวn-lรก-bpร ), เธงเธดเธเธฒ (wรญ-chaa) means โsubjectโ and เธจเธดเธฅเธเธฐ (sวn-lรก-bpร ) means โartโ. So if you want to refer to any subject, you put the word เธงเธดเธเธฒ (wรญ-chaa) in front to make it a subject. Letโs say that the word that we learned before, เธ เธฒเธฉเธฒเนเธเธข (phaa-sฤa thai), if we want to be more specific like Thai language subject, youโll say - เธงเธดเธเธฒเธ เธฒเธฉเธฒเนเธเธข (wรญ-chaa phaa-sฤa thai). เธงเธดเธเธฒเธ เธฒเธฉเธฒเนเธเธข (wรญ-chaa phaa-sฤa thai) means โThai subjectโ. |
| 3. เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธฃเธฐเธงเธฑเธเธดเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเน (wรญ-chaa bprร -wร t-dtรฌ-sร at) "history" |
| เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธฃเธฐเธงเธฑเธเธดเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเนเธเนเธฒเนเธเธทเนเธญ (wรญ-chaa bprร -wร t-dtรฌ-sร at nรขa buฬuea) "History is boring." |
| Is it? So if you want to refer to เธเธฃเธฐเธงเธฑเธเธดเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเนเนเธฅเธ (bpraฬ-wแบกฬt-dti-แนฃaฬat loฬok) or โworld historyโ, you put the word เนเธฅเธ (loฬok) which means โworldโ at the end, after the word เธเธฃเธฐเธงเธฑเธเธดเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเนเน (bpraฬ-wแบกฬt-dti-แนฃaฬat) so it becomes เธเธฃเธฐเธงเธฑเธเธดเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเนเนเธฅเธ (bpraฬ-wแบกฬt-dti-แนฃaฬat loฬok) โworld historyโ. If you want to be more specific like world history subject, you put the word เธงเธดเธเธฒ (wรญ-chaa) in front so it becomes เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธฃเธฐเธงเธฑเธเธดเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเนเนเธฅเธ (wรญ-chaa bpraฬ-wแบกฬt-dti-แนฃaฬat loฬok). So now you know how to form this word. So if you are studying, letโs say, Thai history subject, it will be, เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธฃเธฐเธงเธฑเธเธดเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเนเนเธเธข (wรญ-chaa bpraฬ-wแบกฬt-dti-แนฃaฬat thai). If youโre studying American history, you can say - เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธฃเธฐเธงเธฑเธเธดเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเนเธญเนเธกเธฃเธดเธเธฒ (wรญ-chaa bpraฬ-wแบกฬt-dti-แนฃaฬat aฬ-mee-riฬ-gaa). |
| 4. เธงเธดเธเธฒเธ เธนเธกเธดเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเน (wรญ-chaa phuu-mรญ-sร at) "geography" |
| เธญเธฒเธเธฒเธฃเธขเนเธเธเธเธตเนเธชเธญเธเธงเธดเธเธฒเธ เธนเธกเธดเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเนเนเธเนเธเธกเธฒเธ (aa-jaan khon niฬi saฬawn wรญ-chaa phuu-mรญ-sร at geฬng mรขak) "This teacher is good at teaching geography." |
| Actually, geography is my least favorite subject so far. I just feel like itโs very difficult. So by the way guys, what is your least favorite subject? |
| 5. เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธตเธงเธงเธดเธเธขเธฒ (wรญ-chaa chii-wรก-wรญt-thรก-yaa) "biology" |
| เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธตเธงเธงเธดเธเธขเธฒเธเธทเธญเธเธฒเธฃเธจเธถเธเธฉเธฒเนเธเธตเนเธขเธงเธเธฑเธเธชเธดเนเธเธกเธตเธเธตเธงเธดเธ (wรญ-chaa chii-wรก-wรญt-thรก-yaa khuue gaan sรนek-sวa gรฌiao-gร p sรฌng-mii-chii-wรญt) "Biology is the study of living organisms." |
| So I mean if canโt remember the word เธเธตเธงเธงเธดเธเธขเธฒ (chii-wรก-wรญt-thรก-yaa), you can shorten it by just saying เธเธตเธงเธฐ (chii-waฬ). I think thatโs how kids say it because itโs more convenient. So rather than saying the whole word, เธเธตเธงเธงเธดเธเธขเธฒ (chii-wรก-wรญt-thรก-yaa), you can just say เธเธตเธงเธฐ (chii-waฬ). For example, โI like biology.โ so rather than saying เธเธฑเธเธเธญเธเธเธตเธงเธงเธดเธเธขเธฒ (chaฬn chaฬawp wiฬ-chaa chii-waฬ-wit-thaฬ-yaa), you can say เธเธฑเธเธเธญเธเธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธตเธงเธฐ (chaฬn chaฬawp wiฬ-chaa chii-waฬ). |
| 6. เธงเธดเธเธฒเนเธเธกเธต (wรญ-chaa khee-mii) "chemistry" |
| เธซเนเธญเธเธเธเธฅเธญเธเธเธทเธญเธชเธเธฒเธเธเธตเนเนเธเธทเนเธญเธเธฒเธฃเนเธฃเธตเธขเธเธฃเธนเนเนเธเธตเนเธขเธงเธเธฑเธเธงเธดเธเธฒเนเธเธกเธต (hรขwng thรณt-laawng khuue sร -thวan-thรฎi phรปuea gaan riian-rรบu gรฌiao-gร p wรญ-chaa khee-mii) "The laboratory is a place to learn about chemistry." |
| I think this one is quite easy you see because we use the word เนเธเธกเธต (khee-mii). I think it comes directly from the English โchemistryโ so chemistry in Thai is เนเธเธกเธต (khee-mii) so pretty similar. |
| 7. เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธดเธชเธดเธเธชเน (wรญ-chaa fรญ-sรฌk) "physics" |
| เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธดเธชเธดเธเธชเนเธขเธฒเธเธเธญ เน เธเธฑเธเธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธเธดเธเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเน (wรญ-chaa fรญ-sรฌk yรขak phaaw phaaw gร p wรญ-chaa khรก-nรญt-dtร -sร at) "Physics is as difficult as math." |
| 8. เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธเธดเธเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเน (wรญ-chaa khรก-nรญt-dtร -sร at) "math" |
| เธงเธดเธเธฒเนเธเธฃเธเธเธญเธเธเธฑเธเนเธเนเธฃเธเนเธฃเธตเธขเธเธเธทเธญเธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธเธดเธเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเน (wรญ-chaa bprรฒot khaฬawng chฤn nai roong riian khuue wรญ-chaa khรก-nรญt-dtร -sร at) "My favorite subject in school is math." |
| เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธเธดเธเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเน (wรญ-chaa khรก-nรญt-dtร -sร at), you can shorten it by saying just เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธเธดเธ (wรญ-chaa khรก-nรญt) so just เธเธเธดเธ (khรก-nรญt) is all right. เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธเธดเธ (wรญ-chaa khรก-nรญt) โmathโ or you can just say เธงเธดเธเธฒเนเธฅเธ (wรญ-chaa leฬek). เนเธฅเธ (Leฬek) means โnumberโ so you can use that too like เธงเธดเธเธฒเนเธฅเธ (wรญ-chaa leฬek) also means โmathโ. เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธเธดเธ (wรญ-chaa khรก-nรญt) also means โmathโ or เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธเธดเธเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเน (wรญ-chaa khรก-nรญt-dtร -sร at). Actually, there is this belief that if you are Asian then you are very good at math. I donโt know if itโs true, but as the belief goes like my favorite subject besides art is mathematics too. Yeah, I donโt know why. |
| 9. เธ เธฒเธฉเธฒเธญเธฑเธเธเธคเธฉ (phaa-sฤa ang-grรฌt) "English" |
| เนเธเธฒเนเธฃเธตเธขเธเธ เธฒเธฉเธฒเธญเธฑเธเธเธคเธฉเธเธตเนเธญเนเธกเธฃเธดเธเธฒ (khฤo riian phaa-sฤa ang-grรฌt thiฬi ร -mee-rรญ-gaa) "He learned English in America." |
| I think the word เธเธเธคเธฉ (ang-grรฌt), เธเธเธคเธฉ (ang-grรฌt) means โEnglishโ so if you want to refer to UK, youโll say เธเธฃเธฐเนเธเธจเธญเธฑเธเธเธคเธฉ (bpraฬ-theฬet ang-gritฬ), เธ เธฒเธฉเธฒเธญเธฑเธเธเธคเธฉ (phaa-sฤa ang-grรฌt) "English language" also like English language. I think the word เธเธเธคเธฉ (ang-grรฌt) comes from the English word Anglo, English which means like, I donโt know like English right? So this is trying to make you driven by it in an easy way. |
| 10. เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธฅเธฐเธจเธถเธเธฉเธฒ (wรญ-chaa phรก-lรก sรนek-sวa) "physical education" |
| เธเธฑเธเธเธญเธเธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธฅเธฐเธจเธถเธเธฉเธฒเธกเธฒเธ (chฤn chaฬawp wรญ-chaa phรก-lรก sรนek-sวa mรขak) "I like physical education very much." |
| You can shorten this word by saying just เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธฅเธฐ (wรญ-chaa phรก-lรก) โphysical educationโ. |
| Okay, so thatโs all for todayโs lesson. What is your favorite subject or what is your least favorite subject? Just let us know. Like for me, I love to study เธจเธดเธฅเธเธฐ (sวn-lรก-bpร ) โartsโ, เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธเธดเธเธจเธฒเธชเธเธฃเน (wรญ-chaa khรก-nรญt-dtร -sร at) "math" and actually เธงเธดเธเธฒเธเธฅเธฐเธจเธถเธเธฉเธฒ (wรญ-chaa phรก-lรก sรนek-sวa) "physical education".
