How to say "I am allergic to peanuts" in Thai (with phonetics)
แพ้ถั่วลิสง
phɛ́ɛ thùa-lí-sǒng
I'm allergic to peanuts.
When you are ordering food, this is the everyday way to say "I am allergic to peanuts" in Thai.
Tips
- Politeness: a man ends it with ครับ khráp, e.g. แพ้ถั่วลิสงครับ. A woman ends it with ค่ะ khâ, e.g. แพ้ถั่วลิสงค่ะ. You can drop the word for 'I', because Thai people usually do.
- Tone tip: thùa-lí-sǒng goes low, high, rising. Keep thùa flat and low, jump up on lí, and let sǒng rise at the end. Say phɛ́ɛ with a high, slightly stretched sound.
- Useful when ordering: ไม่ใส่ถั่วลิสง mâi sài thùa-lí-sǒng means 'don't put peanuts in'.
Word by word
- แพ้ phɛ́ɛ: to be allergic to (Long vowel with a high tone. The same word also means 'to lose'.)
