Why can't boys say Sawadika when traveling in Thailand?
Almost everyone who knows Thailand knows, "Hello" in Thai? ——sawatdee, pronounced "Sawa's card" in Chinese, is thought by many people to mean hello. ? It is a Sanskrit sentence of 100%. -sawat means blessing and good luck. -Dee means yes. So the real hello is sawatdee, so why translate a "card"?
Actually, there are two kinds of hello in Thai. One is Sawadika, which is specially for women. Ka is a modal particle that women show respect at the end of a sentence. Boys can't say Sawadika!
How do boys say hello? Translate Chinese "Ka Bu" with krab. So if you are a man, remember to say? -sawatdee krab (not sawatdee ka) instead of Sawatdee Ka (Sawatdee Ka), or you will be regarded as a shemale or a homosexual!
So be sure to pay attention before going out, there are many things that are different from what we have heard, and we need to check the correct usage in actual use to avoid making a big joke. It is said that more than 80% men in Thailand have used Sawadika, which shows that everyone has misunderstood this sentence "Hello".
Because ka and krab are honorifics, when communicating in Thai, remember to add ka or krab after each sentence to show respect, so you will get unexpected enthusiasm and smile!
Common words in Thai:
Hello (Savady)
Yes (firewood)
Thank you (khop khun)
