How to say “Beautiful” in Thai
สวย
sǔay
“beautiful”
“Beautiful” in Thai is สวย, written sǔay in the Latin alphabet.
Tone
สวย carries a rising tone — dips, then climbs like a question. 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 “Huh?” out loud — puzzled, because you genuinely did not catch that — then say สวย with that same shape.
