When to use it

ขอให้ (khɔ̌ɔ-hâi) is a wishing structure — "I wish that," หาย (hǎay) means "to recover/heal," เร็วๆ (rew-rew) means "quickly." Commonly sent as a LINE message or said in person when visiting someone ill. The นะ (ná) at the end adds warmth.

There is no single standard for writing Thai in the Roman alphabet — phrasebooks, road signs, and tourist guides each follow a different system, and many just invent their own spellings. The romanization on this page uses a consistent IPA-based system that marks all five tones and distinguishes short from long vowels. The same word always gets the same spelling.
