In Thai language, there are several ways to say “yes”. The most common way is to use the word “ใช่” (pronounced “chai”). This word is used to confirm something or to answer a question in the affirmative.

For example, if someone asks you “คุณพูดภาษาไทยได้ไหม?” (kʰun pūt phaːsaː thai dai maɪ) which means “Do you speak Thai?”, you could answer “ใช่ค่ะ” (chai kha) which means “Yes, I do (woman speaking)”.

Here are some other ways to say “yes” in Thai:

• ครับ (kʰrap) – This is the male equivalent of “ค่ะ” (kha).
• ได้ (dai) – This word means “can” or “able to”. It can be used to answer a question in the affirmative, especially when you are offering to do something. For example, if someone asks you “คุณช่วยฉันได้ไหม?” (kʰun chuai chan dai maɪ) which means “Can you help me?”, you could answer “ได้ครับ” (dai kʰrap) which means “Yes, I can (man speaking)”.
• ดีค่ะ/ครับ (diː kha/kʰrap) – This phrase means “good” or “okay”. It can be used to express agreement or to show that you understand something. For example, if someone tells you “คุณต้องไปโรงเรียนตอนแปดโมงเช้า” (kʰun tɔɔng pai roŋ rian tʰɔːn pɛːt moːŋ chaːo) which means “You have to go to school at eight o’clock in the morning”, you could answer “ดีค่ะ/ครับ” (diː kha/kʰrap) which means “Okay”.
