Community TutorIn Thai culture 🇹🇭, age is important, and we show respect through the words we use 😊
If someone is older than you, we call them Phee (พี่) 👩🏻
If someone is younger than you, we call them Nong (น้อง) 👧🏻
Examples:
• Phee Sao (พี่สาว) = older sister 👩🏻
• Phee Chai (พี่ชาย) = older brother 🧒🏼
• Nong Sao (น้องสาว) = younger sister 👧🏻
• Nong Chai (น้องชาย) = younger brother 👦🏼
We don’t use these words only for family. We also use them with friends, coworkers, and new people we meet. It is a warm and respectful part of Thai
