How to say “To throw” in Thai

ปา

paa

“to throw”

“To throw” in Thai is ปา, written paa in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

ปา carries a mid tone — level, no movement. 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 “Yeah.” out loud — bored and flat, your voice at rest and going nowhere — then say ปา with that same shape.
