Thai Tones Explained

What are actually tones in Thai? 💡 Tone = a movement of a sound in different pitches In Thai, there are 5 tones: Flat / Mid Tone (straight in the mid level) Low Tone (straight in the low level) High Tone (straight in the mid level and suddently rise at the end) Falling Tone (start from high and drop to low) Rising Tone (start from low and rise to hight) 💡 Same word, different tones = different meanings One small tone change can completely change the meaning. BUT! It depends on the context as well so, don't be worried! Example 1: kaa ขา (khǎa) = Leg ข่า (khàa) = Galangal (Thai ginger) ค่า (khâa) = Price / Value Example 2: maa มา (maa) = To come ม้า (máa) = Horse หมา (mǎa) = Dog Example 3: kao (short sound) เขา (kǎo) = He/she เข่า (kào) = Knees เข้า (kâo) = To enter Example 4: kaao (short sound) ขาว (kǎao) = White ข่าว (kàao) = News ข้าว (kâao) = Rice Which tone pair confuses you the most?
