There are many ways in Thai to ask to be friend with someone just like in English or in any other languages. In our Thai Talk article today, I’ll tell you as many as I can think of for now. However, you can just choose one to pass out the message of wanting to be friend with the others. So pick the one you think it’s the easiest.
Let’s start!
The first phrase you can say is “I want to be your friend”. In Thai we say “Pom/Chan Yak Pen Peuan Kab Khun”
Next is “Will you be my friend?”. We say “Pen Peuan Kab Pom/Chan Dai Mai”
“Can we be friends?” = “Rao Pen Peuan Kan Dai Mai”
“Let’s be friends!” = “Pen Peuan Kan Ter”
Just to remind you about our polite sentence endings: Krap and Ka. If you’re a guy, add “Krap” at the end of your sentence. If you’re a woman, use “Ka”.
Hope this helps a little! Next time when you get a chance to speak Thai with your Thai friends, don’t forget to use these phrases you learn from our Thai Talk. We will always teach you how to speak Thai not rushing it, but a little bit at a time.
