How to use it
ทวดtûat is a great-grandparent on either side, man or woman. To be precise, put a grandparent word in front: your father's grandparents are ปู่ทวดbpùu-tûat and ย่าทวดyâa-tûat, your mother's ตาทวดdtaa-tûat and ยายทวดyaai-tûat. The other way round, a great-grandchild is เหลนlěen, one step beyond หลานlǎan, grandchild.
