As you know how to say in English when you’re in mood. When you have Thai Girl friend or Thai friends if they make you feel funny or angry because of something they do. Would you like to speak it through in Thai language,wouldn’t you?. That may make thm to understand how you really feel. Follow me !

This word ” arom” mean mood

If you’re in good mood,It is aromdee in Thai language. How to use it !

example: I am good mood is phom aromdee.

I am bad mood is phom arom mai dee or phom aromsia (phom used for men,women use “chan”)

You can use those words to answer your girl friend or your friends .when you hear them ask you bpen arai ?, which mean Are you alright?

arom khan mean sense of humor. To use this word saying about someone who has  humor

example: you has good humor is Khun mee arom khan dee in Thai language

arom ron or jai ron mean people who’re hot temper

arom yen or jai yen mean people who’re always calm

Begin the new day with greeting to Thai people as  asking How are you ? with Sawasdee  that sounds nice, doesn’t ?. But if you can say it in Thai language that would make you feel closer to them and they also feel  your friendly and comfortable with you more.

Bpen yang rai ? mean how are you ?. It’s used to ask in many situations such as people is sick, in daily life

Bpen yang ngai ?. It’s the same meaning. Most Thai people use  this sentence to ask people who are  sick and how they are going.

In Addition, Bpen yang rai bang ?

Now you know how to ask them as how are you ? to show how you concern for.

Have you ever been a wonder  when you heard  Thai people talking about something ?, which they might be gossiping you. And  Have you ever thought to ask them back and Do you ever think to learn more Thai language? To understand what Thai people say. This is some sentence to teach you a bit how to ask “ what did you say “ in Thai.

Khun phuut a rai ?. This  mean what did you say  ?. And you can say in short word as Phuut a rai ? or Phuut a rai na krab/ka, when you did not hear what they said in time. Furthermore,  when you hear Thai people who can not speak English you will understand them more.
