How to say “To sell” in Thai

ขาย

khǎai

“to sell”

“To sell” in Thai is ขาย, written khǎai in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

ขาย 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 ขาย with that same shape.
