Phrases in English for Language Learners

Thai T la nid ep 7 Happy Songkran!

สุขสันต์วันสงกรานต์!! (sùk-săn-wan-sŏng-graan) Happy Songkran, everyone!! Welcome back to Thai T-la-nid podcast. This is episode no.7! 

Songkran (is pronounced as sǒng-graan) is Thai new year, also known as a water festival. It’s a very big holiday in Thailand. We usually have 3-5 days off. People go back to their hometown, visit family and friends and celebrate Songkran together.

So, this is the time of joy and all good things. Let’s see how we celebrate and learn some Thai phrases.

1. สุขสันต์วันสงกรานต์! (sùk-săn-wan-sŏng-graan) = Happy Songkran Day!

สุขสันต์ (sùk-săn) = happy 
วัน (wan) = day
สงกรานต์ (sŏng-graan) = Songkran


2. เล่นน้ำ (lên-náam) = to play in the water
เล่น (lên) = to play
น้ำ (náam) = water

Songkran is during the middle of April which is very hot in Thailand. Playing in the water or joining in the water fight keeps us cool. 
 

ไปเล่นน้ำกัน (bpai lên náam gan) = Let’s play in the water/ join in water fight.


3. ประแป้ง (bprà-bpâeng) = to pat check with powder
ประ (bprà) = to pat/patch/paste
แป้ง (bpâeng) = powder/flour 

ขอประแป้งหน่อยได้ไหมครับ/คะ (kǒr bprà-bpâeng nòi dâaa mái kráp/ká) = Can I pat your cheeks with powder?


4. ฉลองกับครอบครัว (chà-lŏng gàp krôp-kruua) = to celebrate with family

ฉลอง (chà-lŏng) = to celebrate 
กับ (gàp) = with
ครอบครัว (krôp-kruua) = family 


5. สงกรานต์สนุกมาก (sŏng-graan sà-nùk mâak) = Songkran is ver fun.

สนุก (sà-nùk) = fun
มาก (mâak) = very


Now, let’s practice again.

1. สุขสันต์วันสงกรานต์! (sùk-săn-wan-sŏng-graan) = Happy Songkran Day!

2. ไปเล่นน้ำกัน (bpai lên náam gan) = Let’s play in the water/water fight.

3. ขอประแป้งหน่อยได้ไหมครับ/คะ (kŏr bprà-bpâeng nòi dâaa mái kráp/ká) = Can I pat your cheeks with powder?

4. ฉลองกับครอบครัว (chà-lŏng gàp krôp-kruua) = to celebrate with family

5. สงกรานต์สนุกมาก (sŏng-graan sà-nùk mâak) = Songkran is very fun.

These are our phrases for now. Enjoy your Songkran. สุขสันต์วันสงกรานต์ค่ะ!! See you!! 😄😄
