How to say “To wait” in Thai
รอ
raaw
“to wait”
“To wait” in Thai is รอ, written raaw in the Latin alphabet.
Tone
รอ 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 รอ with that same shape.
