So in Thai

“So” in Thai is ก็เลยgâw-loei.

ก็เลย gâw-loei

so, that's why conjunction

  • gâw falling
  • loei mid
  • Falling: start high and drop clearly, like a firm “No!”

The result comes after it: ฝนตกก็เลยไม่ไปfǒn dtòk gâw-loei mâi bpai (it rained, so I didn't go). It's the mirror image of เพราะpráw.
