Thai People Will Repeat Your Sentences
The Thai language is remarkably complex compared to English. While the English alphabet comprises only 26 letters (21 consonants and five vowels), Thai encompasses 44 consonants and 32 vowels. Moreover, there is a significant emphasis on tones in Thai, as altering the tone while saying something can change meaning.
When visitors come to Thailand and converse in English, Thai people often repeat the sentences to grasp the intended meaning in the visitor’s tone. This adaptive technique shows their cleverness in understanding foreign languages. However, learning key Thai phrases before your trip is advisable to enhance communication and cultural understanding.
