What does it mean when boys say Savadika?

The word sawatdee ka is a female-specific term in Thailand, and men say sawatdee krub (sawatdee ka no). As we all know, Savadika is the Thai language, which means "hello". Because this word appears many times in TV movies and various media, many Chinese people think that this is a greeting that can be used by everyone in Thailand. In fact, this sentence is only used by women. If men are communicating, If this word is used in Chinese, it will be regarded as a special gender category by the local people.

Sawatdee ka (sawatdee ka) is only for women. The real way to say "hello" in Thai is "Sawadee" (Sawadee). The suffix "ka" is actually used to distinguish gender. It is reserved for women and indicates politeness. Generally speaking, no matter what you say, you will add this suffix at the end. Men add a different ending to the word, namely "Krub" (can't pull it), and the last "b" is pronounced softly. When pronouncing it, the mouth needs to be closed tightly and the pronunciation speed should be fast.

The reason why we have such misunderstandings about "Sawadika" is due to the differences between Chinese and Thai languages. Although Chinese and Thai both belong to the Sino-Tibetan language family, they still have many differences in pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. The use of "Sawadika" to distinguish the gender of the speaker by the end of the word is very rare in Chinese. Therefore, this has also caused everyone's misunderstanding about "Savadika". It is taken for granted that "Savadika" is the same as "hello" and can be used regardless of the identity of the speaker.

Such language differences are also part of cultural differences. Different countries and ethnic groups and cultural differences are problems we must face in communication and communication. In order to successfully complete the communication process, we should have a basic understanding of the common language, culture, customs, etc. in the other party's daily life to prevent jokes and misunderstandings.
