Hello!

The use of ห is very often used in words as silent letter. What is the purpose of this? Change tone? Slight pronunciation?

Hi Nuno,

Thank you very much for your comment. For your question, the different between ‘bpràp aa-gàat’ and khrûueang-bpràp-aa-gàat is the first one is Verb and the second one is a noun. "khrûueang-bpràp-aa-gàat" formal form of air-condition. "‘bpràp aa-gàat’" just to make the climate better or cooler. Hope that help.

Have a great day.

What is the difference between 'bpràp aa-gàat' and khrûueang-bpràp-aa-gàat?

Hello Gary,

Thanks for your comment and suggestion.We really appreciated that. I think the format for every lesson is a maximum of 10 words in the vocabulary section. So some lessons might have other new words, but we tried to give explanations for the most important ones.

Have a nice day.

Thanks for your reply Parisa.

I do understand the use of 'kha' and 'khrap', but perhaps you misunderstand my question.

In some lessons, the vocabulary does not contain the new words introduced in the lesson. Instead old previously introduced ones are repeated many times.

It would be helpful if all new words were in the vocabulary notes.

Hello Gary,

Thanks again for your comment. For your question, here what I found when using our dictionary to find the word "air", in the list it contain the word for "air conditioner". Here is the link: https://www.thaipod101.com/thai-dictionary/

For the problem with repetition words like ‘kha’, ‘khrap'. These two word are show politeness when you speak. How often you repeat is depend on you. The "repetitions" is give you stronger feeling about the meaning and also to reconfirm if you understand it right. The "omissions" is because of rushing life now a day and also sometime it make no sense to use too many words.

Have a nice day.

I've noticed the phrase for air-conditioned doesn't appear in the vocabulary or dictionary, so it's not possible to add to my word bank.

I'm also beginning to notice some new words are also absent in other lessons, but previously used words are repeated over and again (e.g. 'kha', 'khrap' etc).

Why the repetitions and omissions?

Can you explain please?

Hi Colin Stratford,

I have done in the past this long bus rides too (8hs-14hs the longest!), and I also prefer to do that during the night, in order to save precious travel time and money (hotels etc.):cool:

Thanks for your comment! Let us know if you have any questions!
