The best THAI teacher ever ! I have followed some channels but they are rubbish and not making me improved in Thai , that's why i unsubscribed them and choose this one instead. Thank you !
Whaattttt!? I cannot say "sabaidee mai krab?" 😂😂😂 Thanks for these great tips! I think also foreign learners overuse ผม and ฉัน at the beginning of their sentences too.
Yes, as a visitor we see "Sabai" and Sabaidee" all over the place -- on signs, in storefront windows, etc. -- so we mistakenly assume it's a common greeting or salutation... And, as such, "Good Health" would be just that. ...but the QUESTION: "Sabaidee Mai (?)" ...is another thing. Think of it this way: Wouldn't it be a bit off-putting for (either) a complete stranger OR someone you see EVERY day to suddenly and randomly walk up and ask you about your HEALTH? ...er, um, gee, why do you ASK? Conversely, if it came from an old acquaintance you haven't seen for years -- OR -- someone who knows you just got out of the hospital or are recovering from some recent illness... ...well, yeah, that would be different. Context. Simply put, it's a question -- and kind of a PERSONAL one, at that -- not something just said in passing. Similarly I've heard it observed by people having recently come to the U.S. and are learning English as a second language... ...that westerners often do the same sort of thing in "slang" English, when acknowledging someone in passing with: "Hey, how ya' doin' ?" ...but then don't stop to hear a reply.
Shelby, I love your videos and want to support you but cannot find you on Patreon. Once I do I would also like some lessons, but first things first I don't know how to find you on Patreon. best,
This is really useful stuff, Shelby. Thanks. I'm guessing the greetings are for people you already know, is that right? For strangers, it's สวัสดีครับ, right? What about ว่าไง? Is that even more informal?
new subscriber here ! I just love your videos it really helps me , thank you for teaching us how to learn thai and it is really helpful , especially to me . I just have 1 complain , can you slower when you we're talking bacause i can't catch up , thats it , khob khun na kha . I recommend this to everyone !
If I understand correctly, you mean that it is incorrect to ask สบายดีไหม as a greeting like they do in America? But is it correct to use that phrase to genuinely ask someone how they're doing? :)
@Shrlby With the influx of this huge amount of foreigners onto Thailand, the Thai language is influenced and polluted by other Languages. Foreigners who have learnt basic Thai will tent to translate from their native language into Thai like How are you? good bye, good luck. I heard these translated into Thai phrases spoken from true bred Thaid to one another. Maybe they want to show off that they know Caucasian language or sleep with Caucasian people. That makes them a class higher perhaps

Khun sabai dee mai & chok dee will have to be retired then. I thought I sounded like I knew what I was talking about 555
That was helpful indeed! 🙏🏻

Exploring Thailand Yep, ว่าไง is used for close friends or family, people that you know them very well or meet quite often.
@@LearnThaiwithShelby Cool. Thanks.

Welcome to the channel. I speak slower in the previous videos though 😉

All the Thai lessons I took in the past taught me the wrong words. Why did they teach us the wrong things?
