Mix in Thai

“Mix” in Thai is ผสมpà-sǒm.

ผสม pà-sǒm

to mix, to blend; mixed verb

pà low
sǒm rising

Low: flat and lower than your normal voice, dropping a little at the end.
Rising: start low, dip, then rise to the top, like a doubtful “Really?”

How to use it

ผสมpà-sǒm is mixing anything: drinks, colours, a medicine with water. Someone of mixed heritage is ลูกครึ่งlûuk-krûeng, a "half child", and stirring a pot is คนkon, the same sound and spelling as the word for a person.
