How To Count In Thai
Jamnuan (Numbers)
Counting from 0 to 10 in Thai
Counting in Thai is really simple. All
you have to do is to remember the basic
numbers from 0 to 10. It’s just like
counting in Chinese or Japanese.
Do spend some time memorizing the basic
numbers in Thai, it is worth it.
0 - suun
1 - nung
2 - soong
3 - saam
4 - sii
5 - haa
6 - hok
7 - jet
8 - bpeet
9 - gaao
10 - sip
How to count above 10 in Thai…
To count above 10, simply add how many sip (10) and the next
corresponding number. Since sip itself is already 10,
you can just omit the nung (sip-et instead of nung sip-et).
For example, 11 would be sip-et, 12 would be sip soong
and 15 would be sip haa. Notice that 11 is sip-et instead of
sip-nung. This is the only exception to counting in Thai.
11 - sip-et
12 - sip soong
13 - sip saam
20 - yii sip
21 - yii sip et
25 - yii sip haa
30 - saamsip
31 - saamsip et
36 - saamsiphok
40 - sii sip
49 - sii sipgaoo
50 - haa-sip
60 - hok-sip
70 - jet-sip
80 - bpeet-sip
90 - gaao-sip
To count in 100, simply add how many rooi after the number.
For example, 100 would be nung rooi and 111 would be
nung rooi, sip-et. 999 would be gaao rooi, gaao-sip, gaao.
To count in 1000, you would add pan after the number.
For example, 2000 would be soongpan. Similary, 2345
would be soonpan, saam rooi, sip sii, haa. 5987 would be
haa pan, gaao rooi, bpeet-sip, jet. Simple, right?
