So, let’s get started!

What are Irregular Verbs?[edit | edit source]

In the Thai language, irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the typical conjugation rules. Unlike regular verbs, which usually have predictable patterns, irregular verbs may change completely or have unique forms in different tenses.

Understanding these verbs is key to speaking Thai fluently and accurately. For beginners, it’s important to recognize these verbs early on, as they often appear in everyday conversation.

Examples of Irregular Verbs in Thai[edit | edit source]

Let’s take a look at some common irregular verbs in Thai. Below is a table to help you understand them better:

Thai	Pronunciation	English
ไป	bpai	go
มา	maa	come
เป็น	bpen	be (become)
มี	mii	have
เห็น	hen	see
รู้	ruu	know
ทำ	tham	do/make
พูด	phuut	speak
เข้าใจ	khao Jai	understand
นอน	naawn	sleep
ให้	hai	give
เรียน	rian	learn
เล่น	len	play
รู้สึก	ruu-seuk	feel
ใช้	chai	use
เดิน	dern	walk
พัก	phak	rest
กลับ	klap	return
ตื่น	dtuun	wake
หัวเราะ	hua-roh	laugh
แนะนำ	nae-nam	suggest

Each of these verbs is commonly used in day-to-day conversations, making them essential for beginners.

Conjugation of Irregular Verbs in the Present Tense[edit | edit source]

Now that we’ve looked at some examples, let’s talk about how to conjugate these irregular verbs in the present tense.

In Thai, the present tense is often straightforward. You typically use the base form of the verb without needing to change it based on the subject. However, some verbs may require different forms based on context or politeness levels.

Here’s a breakdown of how to use some of the irregular verbs in the present tense:

1. ไป (bpai) - to go

ฉันไปตลาด (chan bpai talad) - I go to the market.

2. มา (maa) - to come

เขามาที่นี่ (khao maa thîi nîi) - He/She comes here.

3. เป็น (bpen) - to be/become

เขาเป็นนักเรียน (khao bpen nákrian) - He/She is a student.

4. มี (mii) - to have

ฉันมีหนังสือ (chan mii nǎngsǔue) - I have a book.

5. เห็น (hen) - to see

ฉันเห็นเขา (chan hen khao) - I see him/her.

Let’s continue with a few more examples, this time incorporating more verbs:

Thai	Pronunciation	English
รู้	ruu	know
ฉันรู้คำตอบ (chan ruu kham-tɔ̂ɔp)	I know the answer.
ทำ	tham	do/make
เขาทำการบ้าน (khao tham kān-bâan)	He/She does homework.
พูด	phuut	speak
เราพูดภาษาไทย (rao phuut phaasǎa Thai)	We speak Thai.
เข้าใจ	khao Jai	understand
คุณเข้าใจไหม (khun khao Jai mái)	Do you understand?
นอน	naawn	sleep
ฉันนอนเร็ว (chan naawn reo)	I sleep early.

In these examples, you can see how the verbs maintain their forms while providing clear meanings in context.
