Cultural Connection: Politeness in Thai Adjectives

In Thai culture, it is important to use polite language when describing people or objects. When using adjectives in Thai, it is common to add the word ค่ะ (kha) at the end of the sentence to show respect. For example, instead of saying ‘beautiful,’ you would say สวยค่ะ (suay kha) to be polite.
