Introduction to Adverbs of Manner[edit | edit source]

Adverbs of manner describe the way in which an action is performed. In English, you might say, “He runs quickly,” where “quickly” is the adverb of manner. Similarly, in Thai, these adverbs serve the same purpose, helping you express the manner of actions with precision.

In this lesson, we'll cover how to form adverbs of manner in Thai, along with various examples to illustrate their use. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to create sentences that not only convey actions but also how those actions are performed.

How to Form Adverbs of Manner in Thai[edit | edit source]

In Thai, many adverbs of manner are formed by adding the word "อย่าง" (yàang) before an adjective. This structure translates to “in a way that is…” in English.

For example:

เร็ว (reo) means “quick.”

To say “quickly,” you would say “อย่างเร็ว” (yàang reo), which means “in a quick way.”

Another way to form adverbs of manner is by using the adjective directly in informal contexts.

Here are some common structures:

อย่าง + Adjective = Adverb of Manner

Adjective + เลย (loei) = Adverb of Manner (less formal)

Examples of Adverbs of Manner[edit | edit source]

Now, let's take a look at some examples of how to use adverbs of manner in Thai sentences.
