Measure in Thai

“Measure” in Thai is วัดwát.

วัด wát

to measure verb

  • wát high
  • High: start high and go a little higher, a bit tense; don’t let it fall.

How to use it

To measure is spelled and said exactly like the word for a temple, วัดwát, and only context tells them apart. At a tailor's they วัดตัวwát dtua, measure your body; at a clinic they วัดไข้wát kâi, take your temperature, and วัดความดันwát kwaam-dan, your blood pressure. A tape measure is a ตลับเมตรdtà-làp-méet, and วัดใจwát-jai, "measure the heart", is a test of nerve or of how much someone cares.
