Thai Language Classes: Negative Thai Sentences

In the Thai language, the negative Thai sentences are indicated by using the word 'Mai' meaning 'no' in most context of the Thai language.

MAI = ไม่ = "no"

Let's try to understand how to use the word MAI in negative Thai sentences by examining some examples of negative Thai sentences.

Subject	Negative	Verb	Object
I	don't	eat	fish
ฉัน	ไม่	กิน	ปลา
Chun	mai	gin	pla

Subject	Negative	Verb	Object
She	does not	like	flowers
เธอ	ไม่	ชอบ	ดอกไม้

As you can see, in the Thai language, to convert a positive Thai sentence into a negative Thai sentence is even easier than in English. You do not need to change any verb conjugation. Where don't turns into doesn't and like turns into likes - in the Thai language, all you need to do is add the word MAI in front of the verb and keep everything else the same as in a positive Thai sentence.
