Pronouns

So far, we have seen how pronouns can often be left out of sentences. But often, sentences can sound more polite if implied words are not left out. Now it's time to learn some of the most common Thai pronouns.

ผม	phohmR	I; me [for male speakers]
ฉัน	chanR	I; me [for female speakers]
คุณ	khoonM	you
เขา	khaoR	he; she; they
เรา	raoM	we

Now we can look at some of the phrases from Lesson 2 with the implied pronouns shown in parentheses in the word position where they could be placed.

(คุณ)สบายดีหรือ

/khoonM saL baayM deeM reuuR/ (you) [are] feeling good [question]?
(ฉัน)ยินดีที่ได้รู้จัก(คุณ)

/chanR yinM deeM theeF daiF ruuH jakL khoonM/ ♀ (I) [am] delighted to have met (you).
(ผม)ยินดีที่ได้รู้จัก(คุณ)

/phohmR yinM deeM theeF daiF ruuH jakL khoonM/ ♂ (I) [am] delighted to have met (you).
