This is fantastic stuff. Knowing the words come from a metal bar in the early morning, a gong in the morning and afternoon, and a drum at night makes the lesson so much more interesting and makes the words easier to remember.
I watch a lot of Thai lessons on TH-cam and so far you are the best, your English explanations are clear and I like the way you include the Thai alphabet. I’m encouraging my friends to watch your videos.
The best explanation ever regarding telling about time in Thai. The most intriguing part is about the history of Thailand about hitting gongs and drums to tell time for different parts of the day. That makes me hooked to learning the lesson. ❤❤❤
I love the way you put things into a cultural context. Learning about the reasons for certain words and phrases makes learning really enjoyable. Thanks.
Hi jack, I am learning Thai with Pimsleur . I watch your video's I find them more interactive and I can copy your expressions .thank you for these great videos you are helping me and many other people.
What an outstanding video! I am in Thai class in Pattaya right now. We were introduced to time yesterday and most of us left class scratching our heads with some homework to practice. This video is an excellent clarification/explanation of what we (tried to) learn in class today.
Beste Jack. ik heb al verscheidene videos gezien. je legt het allemaal zeer duidelijk uit. Op deze manier leer ik Engels en Thais op het zelfde moment. he is zeer aangenaam om te volgen. Bedankt. Thank you so much!! Khob khun krab. 55555
Hi Kru Jack, to add to the proliferation of words used to tell the time I have heard additional terms such as ตอน (dtawn) preceding the parts of the day you mentioned plus even other subdivisions such as ตอนค่ำ (dtawn kham) 7pm - 9/10pm and ตอนดึก (dtawn duek) 7pm - 11pm being used. You did not mention them and these last two even overlap! Are these regional or dialect differences? As a non-native speaker we can tell the time easily using the 24 hour clock but when we ask the time it will be a real challenge to interpret the answer we receive.
Kru Jack, how do we say 12:15am midnight? Do we say Tiang Kuen 15 naa tee? I know for noon time 12:15pm, we can drop the "wan", and just say tiang 15 naa tee. So what about midnight with minutes? What do we drop? Thank you in advance.
Interesting... in most languages, the oral/spoken language is "easier" or uses more shortcuts than written or formal language. It seems that this is not the case with telling time in Thai. The formal telling of time is very straightforward and easy to use as opposed to the spoken/informal method of telling time. 🤔
@IGetThais, Jack you mentioned in the video ( 4:59 ) that you would include a link at the top corner of the video or in the description for your video on numbers. However, the link is not located in either location. Can you share that video link please?
It all depends on the context. If you and your friend understand the same context, you can drop the word cháo or yen. However, if you want to avoid misunderstanding, especially when it comes to things like am or pm, it's necessary to say it or drop it accordingly.
You have wonderful videos thank you. Could I ask you to at the end say the words and sentences without any English? I understand at first it is so important to explain but just hearing the Thai with photos of words spoken in sentences with no English would make your videos the best on youtube!
Oh, I understand now. At first, I was uncertain whether to include English words or not. But I chose not to because I wanted the learners to hear the meaning directly from me and become familiar with the sounds and words in Thai. If I included English words, the learners would have to constantly translate, like with "ก = gài (chicken)." Instead, I want them to think of "gài" as simply "gài," not translating every time. I'll put the meaning in the description section instead. Thank you for your suggestion, I'll try to keep it simple and not overthink it. Jack.
@@IgetThais The Thai people I know keep time very well due to growing in in Australia And then going to university in Thailand and then working so they can’t mess around with time
Sa wadee krub, Dtawnee tiang keun yee sip naatee krub. Sorry to add English here but It is very difficult to do the Thai spelling because my auto correct changes every word i write and i have to edit each word afterwards. I am not very good at this. 555
The village chief appointed an armed guard who was responsible for security and providing the time to the villagers. he didn't have a watch. How did he know the exact time? Did he really used a coconut ?

@I get Thais: I like that you present the Thai characters and the romanization. Helps with pronunciation and memory.

You have the best explanation!! Thanks so much for your videos!!
Love your lessons teacher jack. But I thought you said from 7pm-11pm onwards we are supposed to start from 1,2,3,4,5 tumm?
Thanks million ❤️❤️

yes it depends on the dialect as well
You have the best Thai lessons on youtube. Thank you.
ขอบคุณค่ะครูเจก ฉันชอบเรื่องนี้มากๆ
Good job.. this is so complicated!
Thanks you're the best one 😘

ตอนนี้ บ่ายหนึ่งห้าสิบนาทีแล้ว🎉
ตามปกติจะใช้ "บ่ายโมงห้าสิบนาที " ค่ะ
Finally understand why the confusing system of "mong" and "tum". 🤣 Kop kun ka, kruu Jack!
Why naaligaa was spelled นาฬิกา why not ล and it was ฬ? ❤
Oh just heard him say the ฬ is same as Lo - Ling.

If dropping Chao or Yen when followed by minutes， how to differentiate 6:20am and 6:20pm？
It all depends on the context. If you and your friend understand the same context, you can drop the word cháo or yen. However, if you want to avoid misunderstanding, especially when it comes to things like am or pm, it's necessary to say it or drop it accordingly.

จริง ๆ 24 นาฬิกา มันไม่มีจริงนะ
ถ้าพูดถึงจริง ๆ พอผ่าน 23 นาฬิกา 59 นาทีไป ก็ขึ้น 0 นาฬิกาเลย (แต่พูด 24 นาฬิกาให้เข้าใจว่าสิ่นสุดวันวันนั้น)
Thank you for explaining that one for me. I was scratching my head trying to fathom the reasoning as there didn't seem to be any. 😊🙏
