How to say “Shirt” in Thai

เสื้อ

sûuea

“shirt”

“Shirt” in Thai is เสื้อ, written sûuea in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

เสื้อ carries a falling tone — starts high, drops hard. 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 “NO!” out loud — snapped at a dog going for the food on the table — then say เสื้อ with that same shape.
