How to say “To see” in Thai

เห็น

hěn

“to see”

“To see” in Thai is เห็น, written hěn in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

เห็น carries a rising tone — dips, then climbs like a question. 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 “Huh?” out loud — puzzled, because you genuinely did not catch that — then say เห็น with that same shape.
