How to say “To dance” in Thai
เต้น
dtên
“to dance”
“To dance” in Thai is เต้น, written dtên in the Latin alphabet.
Tone
เต้น 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 เต้น with that same shape.
