One Words 2 Meanings (Part 3)

"yaa" (Falling Tone-up and down tone)
written as ย่า and หญ้า in Thai language,
the first one, "ย่า" means grandma (Father's mom)
and the second one is "หญ้า" means grass.

Someone might wonder how thai people understand, mostly
we understand from the content that we talk.

Let's practise some sentences for pronunciation.

1. yaa duu wuua gin yaa (Grandma is watching a cow, eating the grass.)
2. yaa dtat yaa nai suan (Grandma cut the grass in the garden.)
3. yaa ao yaa bpai nai (Where will grandma take the grass to?)
4. yaa chawhp yaa see kiao (Grandma likes the green grass.)

***Be sure that pronounce "yaa" as falling tone ( up and down sound)
because there are "yaa" (Flat tone) means "Medicine" and "yaa" (down tone)
means "Divorce & Don't"
