Chapter 5 - Tastes

This page is useful for you to be able to comment on the food your are tasting.

You can taste it first. (chim gorn dai))
Sweet (wahn)	Bitter (khom)
Sour (briaw)	Salty (khem)
Spicy (phet)

When you are eating, someone will probably say to you "aroi mai?" which means "Is it delicious?"
Delicious (a-roi)	Not Delicious (mai a-roi)

Thai food can be quite hot and spicey. Most noodle stall vendors might ask you if you can eat spicey food (gin phet dai mai?). Answer "dai" for yes, "mai dai" for no and "dai nit noi" for a little.

Is it spicy? (phet mai)

I don't want spicy. (mai ow phet)

I want it a little spicy. (ow phet nit deow)

The Thai word "nit deow" is the same as "nit noi".

I like spicy food. (chorb ar-han phet)
