Gor Gai - A Chicken

In Thai language, there are totally 44 consonant letters. It start with the letter "Gor Gai" as pictured above.

This is the first letter of Thai consonants. It's pronounced "Gor Gai". We use letter with words to teach Thai language so it would be easier. When you spell the word, you should say it "Gor Gai" rather than only "Gor" because Thai people wouldn't understand it.

The word "Gor" has no meaning. It's a consonant and need to be mixed with other consonants and vowels to create a meaningful word.

In case that you wanna know any specific word, please feel free to ask me.

For today, I'm going to write about "Gai", the word from the letter "Gor Gai". This means "Chicken". The word can be used to call both male and female and apply to all kinds of chicken except for baby chicken.


I'll make the below table for you for your easier learning:-

If it's a female chicken, we call it "Mah Gai" or "Gai Tua Mia"

If it's a male chicken, we call it "Por Gai" or "Gai Tua Phu"


I'll add extra word for you today, you can call baby chicken as "Look Jeab" << It's hard to pronounce but keep practicing.
