How to say “Aunt” in Thai
ป้า
pâa
“aunt”
“Aunt” in Thai is ป้า, written pâa in the Latin alphabet.
Tone
ป้า carries a falling tone — starts high, drops hard. Thai uses tone to tell words apart, so the pitch is part of the word, not an accent you can drop.
The shortest way in is an English intonation you already use. Say “NO!” out loud — snapped at a dog going for the food on the table — then say ป้า with that same shape.
