8. ผมชื่อไมเคิลครับ[pŏm chêu Michael kráp] = My name is Michael.

Today, learn how to tell someone your name in Thai as “My name is …”

If you are being questioned as "คุณชื่ออะไร[khun chêu a-rai kráp/ká] =What's your name?"


Therefore, you should reply your name in Thai as some example sentences following:

If your are men, use the two example sentences below to reply your name.

ผม ชื่อ ไมเคิล ครับ 
pŏm chêu Michael kráp 
My name is Michael. 

ผม ชื่อ ธงไชย ครับ 
pŏm chêu Thongchai kráp 
My name is Thong-chai. 

On the other hand, if you are a woman, use the sentences below.

ฉัน ชื่อ ธันยา ค่ะ 
chăn chêu Thanya kâa 
My name is Thanya. 

ฉัน ชื่อ เจนนี่ 
chăn chêu Jenny 
My name is Jenny. 

Briefly, just use the sentence form as below to use as a standard to say your name. You are only put your name into the the ellipsis as shown in the form below.

If you are guy, you use this below sentence.

 ผม ชื่อ ... ครับ 
pŏm chêu ... kráp 
My name is .... 

But you are lady, you speak with this below sentence.

ฉัน ชื่อ ... ค่ะ 
chăn chêu ... kâa 
My name is ....

or 

 ดิฉัน ชื่อ ... ค่ะ 
di chăn chêu ... kâa 


My name is .... 

 The subject ฉัน[chăn] and ดิฉัน[di chăn] are for females to use, they are both the pronoun for females in Thai. Just select one to use. They serve the same sense as I and Me.   

 Notice: 

If you are a man, just add the particle "ครับ[kráp]" at the end of the sentence whereas a woman is to add "ค่ะ[kâa]" instead.

You can shorten you sentence by omit ครับ[kráp] and ค่ะ[kâa]. The level of the sentence is still formal enough for your general communication or business situations.

 Hope the lesson today is useful for you.
