wee Thai lesson - congratulations

[elisheva_m]

Thai words and names can be compounded from shorter words, so if you know some basics you can work out the meaning of many more.

Two ways to say congratulations in Thai:

ดีใจด้วย dee jai duay

ยินดีด้วย yin dee duay

ดี dee means good, ใจ jai is heart, emotion, feeling, ยิน yin means to feel

ดีใจ dee-jai/dii-chai = happy

ยินดี yin-dee = happy

ด้วย duay = also, too, together with

So these phrases express happiness for/with the one(s) you're congratulating.
And, as always with Thai, add the appropriate particles at the end, นะ na to soften it and/or คะ kha or ครับ khap to make it polite.

ดีใจด้วยคะ Thailand on bringing in marriage equality <3
