Thai Verb To Be
For example:
But we do use the verb, “to be” the same way when we express what we do for a living, or who we are, or where we are. We say “I am a doctor = Chăn(phŏhm)-bpen-mŏr (ฉัน(ผม)เป็นหมอ) or she is my mother = Ther(lòhn)-bpen-mâe-khŏhng-chăn(phŏhm) (เธอ(หล่อน)เป็นแม่ของฉัน(ผม))or where are you now? = Tohn-née-khun-yòo-thêe-năi (ตอนนี้คุณอยู่ที่ไหน).”
