How to say “Cold (weather)” in Thai
หนาว
nǎao
“cold (weather)”
“Cold (weather)” in Thai is หนาว, written nǎao in the Latin alphabet.
Tone
หนาว 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 หนาว with that same shape.
