Thai stuff - Word of the day and the first letter of the alphabet

When starting any language you always start with this one.

HELLO

สวัสดีครับ - Note that the vowels can be above, below, left or right of the associated consonant.

Sa-Wat-Dee Krap

Krap at the end is more of an etiquette term. Thai men will seemingly say Krap at the end of most sentences. This is a sign of repsect and etiquette. Women will say KA. There are associated tones with each syllable but for the moment we can stick with the basics.

ก - Gor Gai - The first letter of the Thai alphabet. Gor has a Mid tone and Gai has a Low tone.

I hope you find this language as interesting as I have over the past 5 or 6 months.
