Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How do you say "hello" in Thai?

Answer: Sawasdii

When you say hello, you would also wai the person (put your hands palms together by your mouth.) "Sabai dii" means "I am well", "Mai ow" means "don't want", and "bai leuy" means "go away".

2. How do you say "what is your name"?

Answer: Kun cheu arai

"Kun ben arai" means "what are you", "chan cheu arai" means "what is my name", and "Mai najai" means "I'm not sure".

3. What do you put at the end of a sentence to be polite, if you are female?

Answer: Ka

Girls say "ka" at the end of a sentence to make it polite. "Kup" is what guys say. Koo and Ket don't mean anything that I know of.

4. What do you put at the end of a sentence to be polite, if you are male?

Answer: Krab

Guys say "krab" (or "krub") at the end of a sentence to make it polite. "Ka" is what girls say. Kray and Koe don't mean anything that I know of.

5. How do you ask someone "how old are you"?

Answer: Kun ayoo tao rai

"Kun cheu arai" means "what is your name", "Kun sabai dii mai" means "are you well" or "how are you", and "Kun bai nai" means "Where are you going".

6. How do you say "excuse me" or "sorry"?

Answer: Kaw tote

"Sawasdii" means "hello" or "goodbye", "Chan rak kun" means "I love you", and "Maa ti nee" means "come here".

7. Which of the following is NOT one of the definitions of "Mai pen rai"?

Answer: Thank you

"Mai pen rai" can mean "It doesn't matter", "that's okay", and "you're welcome". The word for "thank you" is "Cop kun".

8. If you are in Thailand and a stray dog comes near you, what should you say if you want it to go away?

Answer: Bai leuy

"Bai leuy" pretty much means "go away" in a rude manner. You wouldn't want to say "bai leuy" to people because that would be rude. "Maa ti nee" means "come here", "Ow kao mai" means "do you want food", and "sawasdii" means "hello".

9. What is the word for "hungry" in Thai?

Answer: Huew

"Nyui" means "tired", "Sii faa" is the "colour blue", and "jep" means "hurt".

10. You can use the same word to say "goodbye" that you did to say "hello" in Thai.

Answer: True

You can say "Sawasdii" when saying "hello" and when saying "goodbye".
