Invitation – chən+Verb เชิญ

Sawàtdii kâ,

Hi every one welcome back again on our Thai Online lesson. Today we will learn how to invite someone to do something OR you let/guide someone to do something in Thai.

Here is a pattern of Invitation in Thai:

chən + Verb

** You can drop the “Verb “ and say only “chən”

The word “chən” is mean “invite or welcome” so if you walk into the restaurant  you may hear a waiter or waitress  say “ chən kâ/kráp” that mean they are invite you to come in or welcome you.

These are some “Verb” to practice:

kâo-maa(เข้ามา)                            =  come in

dtaam- sàbaai  (ตามสบาย)         =  make yourself at home

nâng   (นั่ง)                                       = to sit

Forexample:

Situation 1 : If someone knocking the door .

A:Knock ,knock , knock …..(ก๊อก ก๊อก ก๊อก )

B: Chən kâo maa .เชิญเข้ามา. Please come in.

Situation 2:If someone come to meet you for the first time at home.

A:sàwàt dii kâ,chán maa pòp(to meet) kun Nut kâ.สวัสดีค่ะ ฉันมาพบคุณนัทค่ะ .

Hello, I come to meet  kun Nut.

B:Chən nâng kâ.เชิญนั่งค่ะ.Please take a seat.

OR:  Chən dtaam sà-baai ná kâ.เชิญตามสบายนะคะ. Please make yourself at home.

Hope every one enjoy learning Thai with Thai Language Hut na ka.
