How to say “Ever” in Thai

เคย

khoei

“ever / have before”

“Ever” in Thai is เคย, written khoei in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

เคย carries a mid tone — level, no movement. 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 “Yeah.” out loud — bored and flat, your voice at rest and going nowhere — then say เคย with that same shape.
