Days & Time: what a phrasebook leaves out

The context beside the words in chapter 5. Learn what the situation asks of you, as well as what to say.

Sabai Thai companions exploring days & time

Days end in the word วัน (day): Monday is วันจันทร์. Telling time uses a different word for each part of the day - don't expect one clean 24-hour system.

The phrases this applies to

วันจันทร์wan jan
Monday
วันอังคารwan ang khaan
Tuesday
วันพุธwan phút
Wednesday
วันเสาร์wan sǎo
Saturday
วันอาทิตย์wan aa thít
Sunday
วันพฤหัสบดีwan pharuehat sa bodii
Thursday
วันศุกร์wan sùk
Friday
เช้าcháo
Morning

These come from chapter 5 of the course, where the full word list and audio live.
