How to say “Money” in Thai

เงิน

ngern

“money”

“Money” in Thai is เงิน, written ngern in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

เงิน 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 เงิน with that same shape.
