wee Thai lesson - congratulations
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
