How to say “Dog” in Thai
หมา
mǎa
“dog”
“Dog” in Thai is หมา, written mǎa in the Latin alphabet.
Tone
หมา 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 หมา with that same shape.
