How to use it
ขึ้นใจkûen-jai, "up into the heart", comes after จำjam, to remember: จำได้ขึ้นใจjam dâi kûen-jai is knowing something by heart, a phone number, a song, the way home. Learning by saying something over and over, as children do with their times tables, is ท่องจำtâwng-jam, and simply remembering is จำได้jam dâi.
