Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Eric: Must-Know Thai Social Media Phrases Season 1. Lesson 11 - Changing Your Relationship Status.
Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric.
Jay: And I'm Jay.
Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Thai about being in a relationship. วิน (Win) changes his status to "In a relationship", posts an image of it, and leaves this comment:
Jay: ไม่โสดแล้วครับ (mâi sòot láaeo khráp)
Eric: Meaning - "I'm not single anymore." Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow.

POST
Eric: Listen again to วิน (Win)'s post.
Jay: ไม่โสดแล้วครับ (mâi sòot láaeo khráp)
Eric: "I'm not single anymore."
Jay: (SLOW) ไม่โสดแล้วครับ (mâi sòot láaeo khráp) (Regular) ไม่โสดแล้วครับ (mâi sòot láaeo khráp)
Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "I'm not single anymore.."
Jay: ไม่โสดแล้ว (mâi sòot láaeo)
Eric: When Thai people change their relationship status from single to in-a-relationship, there’s a good chance that friends will weigh in to either congratulate or tease them. Listen again- "I'm not single anymore." is...
Jay: (SLOW) ไม่โสดแล้ว (mâi sòot láaeo) (REGULAR) ไม่โสดแล้ว (mâi sòot láaeo)
Eric: Then comes the particle used by men.
Jay: ครับ (khráp)
Eric: This is the ending particle for men to indicate formality. However, when it’s used on social media, it normally comes off with a joking manner, like 'sir' or 'mam' in English. Listen again- The particle for guys is...
Jay: (SLOW) ครับ (khráp) (REGULAR) ครับ (khráp)
Eric: altogether, "I'm not single anymore."
Jay: ไม่โสดแล้วครับ (mâi sòot láaeo khráp)
