Basic Vocabulary for Time[edit | edit source]

First, let’s dive into some essential vocabulary that will help you express time in Thai. Here are some key words and phrases:

Thai	Pronunciation	English
ชั่วโมง	chûamóng	hour
นาที	naa-thii	minute
วินาที	wi-naa-thii	second
เช้า	cháo	morning
เที่ยง	thîang	noon
บ่าย	bàai	afternoon
เย็น	yen	evening
กลางคืน	glaang-khuen	night
วัน	wan	day
สัปดาห์	sàp-daa	week
เดือน	deuan	month
ปี	bpii	year

Understanding these words is fundamental. You’ll notice that time in Thai is often discussed in relation to the parts of the day, so it’s essential to memorize these terms.

How to Ask and Tell Time[edit | edit source]

Now that we have the vocabulary, let's learn how to ask and tell time. Here’s a simple structure to get you started:

1. To ask for the time:

Thai: ตอนนี้กี่โมง?

Pronunciation: ton-níi kìi móng?

English: What time is it now?

2. To tell the time:

Thai: ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา [number] โมง

Pronunciation: ton-níi bpen we-laa [number] móng

English: It is [number] o'clock now.

For example:

Thai: ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา สอง โมง

Pronunciation: ton-níi bpen we-laa sǒng móng

English: It is two o'clock now.

Let’s look at some more examples of telling the time:

Thai	Pronunciation	English
ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา หนึ่ง โมง	ton-níi bpen we-laa nùeng móng	It is one o'clock now.
ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา สี่ โมง	ton-níi bpen we-laa sìi móng	It is four o'clock now.
ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา ห้า โมง	ton-níi bpen we-laa hâa móng	It is five o'clock now.
ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา หก โมง	ton-níi bpen we-laa hòk móng	It is six o'clock now.
ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา เจ็ด โมง	ton-níi bpen we-laa jèt móng	It is seven o'clock now.
ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา แปด โมง	ton-níi bpen we-laa bpàaet móng	It is eight o'clock now.
ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา เก้า โมง	ton-níi bpen we-laa gâao móng	It is nine o'clock now.
ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา สิบ โมง	ton-níi bpen we-laa sìp móng	It is ten o'clock now.
ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา สิบเอ็ด โมง	ton-níi bpen we-laa sìp-èd móng	It is eleven o'clock now.
ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา สิบสอง โมง	ton-níi bpen we-laa sìp-sǒng móng	It is twelve o'clock now.

In Thai, when referring to minutes or seconds, we add "นาที" (naa-thii) or "วินาที" (wi-naa-thii) after the hour. For example:

Thai: ตอนนี้เป็นเวลา สอง โมง กับ สิบ นาที

Pronunciation: ton-níi bpen we-laa sǒng móng kàp sìp naa-thii

English: It is two o'clock and ten minutes now.

Additional Time-related Expressions[edit | edit source]

Thai culture emphasizes punctuality, and understanding these expressions will help you navigate social situations:

Before noon: ก่อนเที่ยง (kàawn thîang) - before noon

After noon: หลังเที่ยง (lǎng thîang) - after noon

At night: ตอนกลางคืน (ton glaang-khuen) - at night

Using Time in Daily Conversations[edit | edit source]

Let’s now look at some common phrases that involve time expressions in daily conversations:

Thai	Pronunciation	English
วันนี้วันอะไร?	wan-níi wan à-rai?	What day is it today?
ฉันจะไปที่นั่นตอนเย็น	chán jà bpai thîi nân ton yen	I will go there in the evening.
เรามีนัดตอนบ่าย	rao mii nát ton bàai	We have an appointment in the afternoon.
เขามาถึงตอนเช้า	khǎo maa thǔeng ton cháo	He/She arrives in the morning.
คุณทำการบ้านเสร็จเมื่อไหร่?	khun tham gaan-bâan sèt mêuà-rài?	When will you finish your homework?

Cultural Context and Usage[edit | edit source]

In Thailand, time is often viewed more flexibly compared to Western standards. While punctuality is appreciated, being late is sometimes not seen as a significant issue in social settings. However, for business meetings and important appointments, it's advisable to be on time.
