Some day in Thai

“Some day” in Thai is สักวันsàk wan.

สักวัน sàk wan

one day, some day adverb

sàk low
wan mid

Low: flat and lower than your normal voice, dropping a little at the end.

You'll hear it in Whatever (ไม่ได้ก็ไม่เอา).

How to use it

สักวันsàk wan, "some one day", looks ahead to a day nobody can name yet: a hope, a promise, a warning. It goes at the start or the end of the sentence. สักsàk before a counting word means "just one, some": ใครสักคนkrai sàk kon, someone, anyone at all. A day in a story is วันหนึ่งwan nùeng, one day.

Song Whatever (ไม่ได้ก็ไม่เอา) A cool, slow T-pop song by the girl group PiXXiE with Zom Marie: she has had enough of someone who only wanted fun, and walks away. Spotify named it among the songs behind T-pop's growth abroad. The lyric video shows the Thai on screen, and almost every line is an A2 pattern you can use the same day: if I can't have it I don't want it, just friends, not any more, only just, not worth it at all, some day.
