Thai · CEFR Band 1 (A1) · Chapter 45

จบ A1: และ แต่ เพราะ เลยFinishing A1: and, but, because, so

còp A1: lɛ́ tɛ̀ɛ phrɔ́ loəəi

This is the last chapter of A1. We look back on the journey we have studied and learn words that connect sentences. Vocabulary: lɛ́, tɛ̀ɛ, phrɔ́, looei, thóp-thuan, fʉ̀k, mân-cai, phát-thá-naa, tɔ̀ɔ, phá-yaa-yaam, sèt, rə̂əm. Key grammar: sentence connectors. "และ" (joins two similar things), "แต่" (contrast), "เพราะ" (gives a reason, placed before the reason like "because"), "เลย" (gives a result, placed before the result like "so"). Note: don't confuse "เลย" (so, the result follows) with "เพราะ" (because, the reason follows). English speakers often say "เรียนหนักเลยชอบ" (= I study so I like, reversed) when they mean "เรียนหนักเพราะชอบ" (I study because I like) ✓. Tone corner: review all five tones.

Connecting sentences: and, but, because, so

Explanation

Let's learn four sentence connectors. (1) "และ" joins two similar things (addition): "ผมเรียนภาษาไทยและภาษาญี่ปุ่น" (I study Thai and Japanese). (2) "แต่" states something opposite: "ภาษาไทยยากแต่สนุก" (Thai is hard but fun). (3) "เพราะ" gives a reason, placed "before the reason" (like "because"): "ผมอยู่บ้านเพราะฝนตก" (stay home ← เพราะ → it rains). (4) "เลย" gives a result, placed "before the result" (like "so"): "ฝนตกผมเลยอยู่บ้าน" (it rains → เลย → stay home). Important note: "เลย" = so (the result follows), "เพราะ" = because (the reason follows). English speakers often confuse them: they mean "ผมเรียนหนักเพราะผมชอบ" (I study because I like) but say "ผมเรียนหนักเลยชอบ" (I study so I like — reversed meaning). To give a reason, use "เพราะ".

Examples

  • ผมเรียนภาษาไทยและภาษาญี่ปุ่นI study Thai and Japanese.
  • ภาษาไทยยากแต่สนุกThai is hard but fun.
  • ฝนตกผมเลยอยู่บ้านIt's raining, so I stay home.
  • ผมอยู่บ้านเพราะฝนตกI stay home because it's raining.
  • ผมเรียนทุกวันเพราะผมชอบภาษาไทยI study every day because I like Thai.
