In Thai, many adverbs of manner are formed by adding the suffix -ๆ (-ๆ) to an adjective. For example:
- ช้า (cháa) → ช้าๆ (cháa-ๆ) - slowly
- ดี (dii) → ดีๆ (dii-ๆ) - well, good
- ค่อย (kâwy) → ค่อยๆ (kâwy-ๆ) - slowly, gradually
Some common adverbs of manner that do not follow this pattern include:
- อย่าง (yàang) - like, as
- แบบ (bàep) - in the manner of, like
- อย่างที่ (yàang tîi) - in the way that
Usage of Adverbs of Manner
Adverbs of manner can be used in the following ways:
- After a verb: เขาวิ่งช้าๆ (kǎo wîng cháa-ๆ) - He runs slowly
- Before an adjective: อาหารอร่อยดีๆ (ăahaan à-ràuy dii-ๆ) - Delicious food
- After a preposition: เดินอย่างช้าๆ (dern yàang cháa-ๆ) - Walk slowly
Remember that adverbs of manner can modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Be sure to use the appropriate position in the sentence based on what you are modifying.
Examples
Here are some examples of adverbs of manner in use:
| Thai | Pronunciation | English |

| กิน | gin | Eat |
| อร่อย | à-ràuy | Delicious |
| กินอร่อยๆ | gin à-ràuy-ๆ | Eat deliciously |
