Lesson 3: Vocabulary: Twelve Colors

Description:

A one-stop-shop for people who need creative help.
This lesson will teach you the Thai names of 12 common colors. You can use these to pick out your favorite color shirt when you're shopping.

 

Grammar Notes:

All of the colors in the word list start with the word  sěe  - which means "color". This word is very similar to the Thai word for four:  sèe  but the tone is different. Note the different tone mark between  sěe  and  sèe 

When you are learning the colors, you are also learning a few other useful words, such as:

 sěe sôm  (orange) :  sôm  means the orange fruit

 sěe fáh  (light blue) : the color name is also seen in  táwng fáh  (sky) and rót fai fáh  (skytrain)

 sěe nám đahn  (brown) :  nám đahn means sugar
