What does it mean when boys say Savadika?

The word sawatdee ka is a female-specific term in Thailand, and men say sawatdee krub (sawatdee ka no).

As we all know, Savadika is the Thai language and means "Hello". Because this word appears many times in TV movies and various media, many Chinese people think that this is a greeting that can be used by everyone in Thailand. In fact, this sentence is only used by women. If men are communicating, If this word is used in Chinese, it will be regarded as a special gender category by the local people.

Thailand, as one of the most popular countries in Southeast Asia, has relaxed entry requirements for tourists in the past few years and has no longer charged visa fees for as many as 19 countries, including China. The fee for visa on arrival has been directly reduced from 2,000 baht to 1,000 baht. In addition, Thailand is a country with low prices. Most tourists who have been to Thailand report that things in Thailand are of high quality and low price, and eating and staying in hotels are not particularly expensive. Therefore, more and more people are traveling to Thailand.

Sawadika, this is a greeting in Thailand. Like "Hello" in English and "Ani Asayyo" in Korean, it means hello. If you have carefully understood the history of Thailand, you will also find that Sawadika in Thai is written as -sawatdee, and Sawadika is the Chinese pronunciation. And this sentence is a Sanskrit sentence, -sawat means good luck or blessing, and -dee means good. Therefore, the real meaning of hello in Thai is sawatdee, pronounced as sawadee. So why is there another "card" in the spread?

In fact, this reflects the differences in language habits in different countries. In Chinese, it is customary to use "he and she" to distinguish men and women, while in English "He and She" are also used to express the different titles brought about by the different genders between men and women. Each country has its own language and customs for expressing gender differences. But Thailand is such a special country. In Thailand, in addition to boys and girls, there is also a special existence, and that is the Thai ladyboy. For this kind of unknown gender, if you want to distinguish between men and women in terms of title, you have to be more strict.

In fact, there are two types of hello in Thai, one is a greeting used by women, and the other is a greeting used by men. The difference between the two is the suffix. As mentioned before, the greeting "hello" in Thai is -swwatdee, and the "ka" that appears here for no reason is the suffix used by women. "Ka" is a suffix modal particle used by women. It is often used at the end of sentences to express respect and respect. However, boys cannot use this modal particle indiscriminately.

In general, "Sawadika" is the greeting spoken by girls, while the suffix modal particle used by boys is "Kabu", written as "krab", so the Thai greeting for boys is "Sawatdee krab", if you use "sawatdee krab" indiscriminately in Thailand, you will be regarded as a ladyboy by the locals.
