How to say “From” in Thai

จาก

jàak

“from”

“From” in Thai is จาก, written jàak in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

จาก carries a low tone — below your resting pitch, and it stays there. 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 “Don’t.” out loud — quiet and stern, the warning you give without raising your voice — then say จาก with that same shape.
