How to say “To help” in Thai
ช่วย
chûay
“to help”
“To help” in Thai is ช่วย, written chûay in the Latin alphabet.
Tone
ช่วย 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 ช่วย with that same shape.
