Professional Teacher🇹🇭Why Thais people like to ask ….
“ กินข้าวหรือยัง”
gin khâo rěu yang
Have you eaten meal yet?
It’s one of greeting way when you meet someone and you don’t want to say just “ sa was dee” .
Asking about meal when you meet someone, it’s not really answering needed question. You can answer in short like “yes” or “no”.
Thais people like to eat all day and we have a lot of varieties of food. So, to ask about meals become our greeting. 😆
