Beyond ไหม (máy): The Thai Yes/No Question System

You learned ไหม (máy) in your first month of Thai.
But native speakers rarely stop there.

  • หรือเปล่า (rɨ́ɨ plàaw)
  • หรือยัง (rɨ́ɨ yaŋ)
  • ใช่ไหม (chây máy)
  • หรอ (rɔ̌ɔ)

Each carries a different assumption, and choosing the wrong one is why your Thai sometimes sounds "correct but off."

In this live group session you will learn what each question ending really implies, when Thai speakers pick one over another, and how to answer naturally by echoing the verb instead of reaching for a "yes."

Expect real conversation practice, pair drills, and live feedback from a native Thai teacher. You'll leave asking questions the way Thai people actually ask them.

Level: All levels
Language: Taught in English and Thai
