13. ขอโทษ[khŏr tôht] = Pardon me. / ขออภัย[kŏr a-pai] = Pardon me. Thai has two words that they serve as "Pardon me."

Hi! Do you know that the word “Pardon me.” In Thai language?

Yes, I'm Michael Leng, I come to see you again with Thai in sentences. Therefore, you will be able to pick any sentence from my articles and use them as in your way.

Well, you can use two sentences that they serve the same sense.

Here below they are:

ขอโทษ
khŏr tôht
Pardon me.

and

ขออภัย
kŏr a-pai
Pardon me.

You only pick one of the both mentioned sentences above for speaking in Thai.

Anyhow, it would be more polite; just add more particles at the end of the words as shown right below:

The two sentences below are for a man speaker. Because the word "ครับ[kráp]" is the specific Thai particle for only men.

ขอโทษครับ
khŏr tôht kráp
Pardon me.

and

ขออภัยครับ
kŏr a-pai kráp
Pardon me.

If the speaker is a woman, as a rule of Thai grammar, uses the particle "ค่ะ[kâa]" 

ขอโทษค่ะ
khŏr tôht kâa
Pardon me.

and

ขออภัยค่ะ
kŏr a-pai kâa
Pardon me.

The only one sentence in Thai; "ขอโทษ(khŏr tôht)", can be used for "Sorry", "Pardon me" and "Apologize" in English.

If there is any in doubt in Thai language. Please feel free to leave some comments.

Bye,
Michael Leng
