Solve in Thai

“Solve” in Thai is แก้gâe.

แก้ gâe

to fix, to solve; (of a medicine) for, against verb

gâe falling

Falling: start high and drop clearly, like a firm “No!”

How to use it

แก้gâe is undoing what's wrong: a problem (แก้ปัญหาgâe bpan-hǎa), a mistake, a knot. Ask a Thai friend to แก้gâe your Thai and they'll correct it. On medicine packs it means "for": แก้ไอgâe ai, for coughs, and แก้ปวดgâe bpùat, for pain. Repairing something broken is ซ่อมsâwm.
