How to use it

มีใจให้mii jai hâi, "to have a heart for", is having feelings for someone: more than liking, not yet saying love. Friends ask เขามีใจให้ไหมkǎo mii jai hâi mǎi, does he like you back?, and two people who both feel it มีใจให้กันmii jai hâi gan. Telling someone is สารภาพรักsǎa-rá-pâap rák, to confess your love, and a crush you keep secret is แอบชอบàep châwp.
