Greetings & Politeness: what a phrasebook leaves out
The context beside the words in chapter 1. Learn what the situation asks of you, as well as what to say.
Always close a sentence with ครับ (men) or ค่ะ (women). It softens everything and is the single fastest way to sound polite and natural.
The phrases this applies to
