How to say “Mat” in Thai

เสื่อ

sùuea

“mat”

“Mat” in Thai is เสื่อ, written sùuea in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

เสื่อ 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 เสื่อ with that same shape.
