It in Thai

“It” in Thai is มันman.

มัน man

it pronoun

man mid

Mid: level, in your normal speaking voice.

For animals and things; about a person it sounds rude.

You'll hear it in Chang Chang Chang (ช้าง ช้าง ช้าง).

How to use it

Thai usually leaves "it" out: อร่อยมากà-ràwy mâak is "it's delicious", and แพงpaeng alone is "it's expensive". มันman is used when you need a word, mostly for animals and things: มันไม่กัดman mâi gàt, it doesn't bite. About a person, มันman sounds rude or very casual, so say เขาkǎo instead.
