Numbers 1–10 and phone numbers

Explanation

Learn the first ten numbers and use "àrai" to ask. Phone numbers are read DIGIT BY DIGIT: 081 is "sǔun – pɛ̀ɛt – nʉ̀ŋ", not "eighty-one". When counting things or people, the number follows the noun and is followed by a classifier: khon sɔ̌ɔŋ khon. ("sǔun" = zero is taught fully next chapter.)

Examples

  • เบอร์โทรคุณคืออะไรครับWhat is your phone number?
  • เบอร์โทรผมคือ ศูนย์ แปด หนึ่ง ห้า สามMy phone number is 0 8 1 5 3.
  • ครอบครัวผมมีห้าคนMy family has five people.
