You can do it in Thai

“You can do it” in Thai is สู้ๆsûu-sûu; you'll also hear สู้sûu (fight on).

สู้ๆ sûu-sûu

keep going!, you can do it! interjection

  • sûu falling
  • sûu falling
  • Falling: start high and drop clearly, like a firm “No!”
สู้ sûu

to fight; to keep at it, not give up verb fight on

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

How to use it

สู้ๆsûu-sûu, "fight, fight!", is how Thais cheer someone on: before an exam, a job interview, a match or a hard week at work, much like the "fighting!" of Korean dramas. A smile and ขอบคุณkàwp-kun is the reply, or จะพยายามjà pá-yaa-yaam, I'll do my best. For gentler support, เป็นกำลังใจให้นะbpen gam-lang-jai hâi ná means "I'm rooting for you".
