As a Thai language teacher with over 20 years of experience, I understand the importance of mastering basic vocabulary, such as numbers and counting. In this lesson, you will learn how to count from 1 to 10 in Thai, an essential skill for basic communication.
Thai Numbers 1-10
To start, let's take a look at the Thai numbers from 1 to 10. The table below shows the Thai numerals, their pronunciation in IPA, and English translations:
| Thai | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ๑ | nueng | one |
| ๒ | song | two |
| ๓ | sam | three |
| ๔ | see | four |
| ๕ | haa | five |
| ๖ | hok | six |
| ๗ | jet | seven |
| ๘ | paet | eight |
| ๙ | kao | nine |
| ๑๐ | sip | ten |
It is important to note that Thai numbers are based on the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, just as in English. However, the Thai numerals have their own unique symbols.
Counting in Thai
Now that you know the Thai numbers 1 to 10, let's learn how to count in Thai. To count from 1 to 10, simply say the Thai numeral followed by the word "mueang" (แม่ง), which means "count." For example:
- Nueng mueang (หนึ่งแม่ง) - One
- Song mueang (สองแม่ง) - Two
- Sam mueang (สามแม่ง) - Three
- See mueang (สี่แม่ง) - Four
- Haa mueang (ห้าแม่ง) - Five
- Hok mueang (หกแม่ง) - Six
- Jet mueang (เจ็ดแม่ง) - Seven
- Paet mueang (แปดแม่ง) - Eight
- Kao mueang (เก้าแม่ง) - Nine
- Sip mueang (สิบแม่ง) - Ten
