"Chai" (Yes) = Yes & "Mai Chai" (No) = No

Your trip’s twice as fun with just a few Thai words!

Today, the word is 'Chai' (ใช่) = Yes & 'Mai Chai' (ไม่ใช่) = No

Use case: Chai (Yes)

- When someone asks if this is your bag: “Is this yours?” → “Chai!”

- When confirming you agree or understand something.

- When ordering food and confirming choices: “Spicy?” → “Chai!”

Use case: Mai Chai (No)

- When someone thinks you ordered something you didn’t.

- When correcting a misunderstanding politely.

- When you want to say “Not this” or “That’s not right.”

Tip: Using 'Krub'👨 and 'Ka'👩 makes the sentence polite

... Read moreหลายคนที่เริ่มเรียนไทยมักสงสัยว่า “ใช่” แปลว่าอะไร และเขียนยังไงให้ถูก (ระหว่าง ใช่ / ใช้ / ไช่) จากประสบการณ์เวลาเจอนักท่องเที่ยวถามกันเอง ฉันสรุปให้แบบใช้งานได้จริงดังนี้ 1) “ใช่” (chai) = Yes / ถูกต้อง ใช้ตอนยืนยันว่า “ถูก” หรือ “ใช่เลย” เช่น - อันนี้ของคุณใช่ไหม? → ใช่ครับ/ใช่ค่ะ - เข้าใจไหม? → ใช่ (ถ้าเข้าใจแล้ว) - เผ็ดไหม? / เอาเผ็ดไหม? → ใช่ครับ/ใช่ค่ะ (หมายถึง “เอาเผ็ด”) ทริค: ถ้าจะให้ดูเป็นธรรมชาติขึ้น พูดว่า “ใช่ครับ/ใช่ค่ะ” จะสุภาพกว่า “ใช่!” เฉยๆ โดยเฉพาะเวลาคุยกับพนักงานร้านอาหารหรือคนไม่สนิท 2) “ไม่ใช่” (mai chai) = No / ไม่ถูก / ไม่ใช่อันนี้ ใช้ตอนปฏิเสธแบบสุภาพหรือแก้ความเข้าใจผิด เช่น - คุณสั่งอันนี้ใช่ไหม? → ไม่ใช่ครับ/ไม่ใช่ค่ะ - อันนี้ของคุณหรือเปล่า? → ไม่ใช่ค่ะ (หลายคนค้นว่า “ไม่ใช่ค่ะ” ซึ่งใช้ได้จริง) - ขอโทษค่ะ ไม่ใช่อันนี้ (ใช้ตอนชี้ของผิด) 3) “ใช้” กับ “ใช่” ต่างกันยังไง? - ใช่ = yes / ถูกต้อง (คำตอบรับ) - ใช้ = use (คำกริยา “ใช้” ของ/ใช้เงิน/ใช้เวลา) ตัวอย่าง: “ใช้บัตรได้ไหม?” (Can I use a card?) คำว่า “ใช้” ในประโยคนี้ไม่ใช่ “ใช่” นะคะ ส่วน “ไช่” โดยทั่วไปถือว่าเขียนผิดในความหมาย “yes” (ที่ถูกคือ “ใช่”) เลยเป็นเหตุผลที่คนชอบค้นว่า “ใช้ หรือ ไช่” 4) “mai” แปลว่าอะไร? คำว่า “mai/ไม่” ในไทยมักทำหน้าที่ “ปฏิเสธ” เช่น - ใช่ → ไม่ใช่ - ได้ → ไม่ได้ - เอา → ไม่เอา ดังนั้น “mai chai” ก็เลยแปลตรงๆ ได้ว่า “ไม่ใช่/ไม่ถูก” นั่นเอง 5) อยากตอบให้เป็นธรรมชาติขึ้น - ถ้ารับแบบนุ่มๆ: “ใช่ค่ะ/ใช่ครับ” หรือ “ใช่เลย” - ถ้าปฏิเสธแบบสุภาพ: “ไม่ใช่ค่ะ/ไม่ใช่ครับ ขอโทษนะคะ/ครับ” สรุปสั้นๆ: จำแค่ “ใช่ = Yes” และ “ไม่ใช่ = No/Not this” แล้วเติม “ครับ/ค่ะ” เวลาอยากสุภาพ เท่านี้ก็ช่วยให้สื่อสารในไทยลื่นขึ้นเยอะมากค่ะ
