Glosor i Thailand sista delen:

Nummer:

Zero - soon
If you want to be serious about shopping and bargaining then it is important to learn Thai numbers. In department stores all prices are marked but in outdoor markets you will have to ask for the price and then try and make it cheaper.
One - nueng
Two - song
Three - sam
Four - see
Five - har
Six - hok
Seven - jed
Eight -bad
Nine -gao
Ten -sib
Eleven -sib et
Twelve - sib song
Thirteen - sib sam

Once you can count 1-11 the rest will be very easy. In fact easier than English. Thai students are very good in learning Math. This is partly due to the way the numbers are named. Take thirty as an example. To us it is just a name but to a Thai student it is three blocks of ten. In Thai thirty is "sam sib" or literally "three tens". Thirty six is "three tens six".
From twelve to nineteen you just repeat the same formula:
14 = 10 + 4 (sib see)
15 = 10 + 5 (sib ha)
Twenty - yee sib
Twenty One - yee sib et
Twenty Two - yee sib song
Twenty Three - yee sib sam

Again, from twenty two to twenty nine you repeat the same formula:
24 = 20 + 4 (yee sib see)
25 = 20 + 5 (yee sib ha)
Thirty -sam sib
Forty - see sib
By now you should be able to count all the way to one hundred.
60 = 6 x 10 (hok sib)
70 = 7 x 10 (jed sib)

One Hundred - nueng roi
Two Hundred - song roi
One Thousand - nueng pun
Two Thousand - song pun

Ten Thousand - nueng muen

NOTES:
All shops use Arabic numerals so it will be easy for you to read. The only time you will see Thai numerals is in a school or when there is a two price system at a tourist attraction.

If you haven't learned all of the numbers by the time you arrive in Thailand don't worry. Many shopkeepers will show you the price on a calculator!
