In this video, khru Yuki Tachaya talks about the common mistakes Thai learners tend to make when composing a sentence expressing their wants and desires. She teaches how to express that you want something, want to do something and want someone else to do something by using “อยากมี [yàak mii]”/”อยากได้ [yàak dâai]”, “อยาก [yàak] + verb” and “อยากให้ [yàak hâi]” respectively. She also explains the difference between the terms “อยากมี [yàak mii]”/”อยากได้ [yàak dâai] and “เอา [ao],” which often confuses Thai learners. After watching this video, you will be able to express your wants and desires correctly like a Thai person.
