Book thai reference grammar book net site_link Review coming Paperback The book really does it s trick and is an amazing reference book for Thai grammar unique in it s kind The reason I only give it three stars was that besides the examples all the words and grammar were written in English or transcription without the Thai writing system at times making it unable to find the exact spelling of words In addition they were inconsistent with the discussion of grammar not always telling the pattern of things as well as quite a strange repetition at the end I feel it is a vital book to have but they could have made it user friendly Paperback After 15 years in the Kingdom this remains hands down the best grammar reference I ve seen It is an extremely useful companion for new and old speakers of Thai as a second language Don t hesitate if you can find a copy Paperback No this book does not deserve the title Reference Grammar because it simply isn t I d rather describe it as a large collection of English collocations with their most common translations in colloquial Thai exemplified by a large amount of realistic sentences It s probably designed for students of Thai who already know a great deal of the language and want to improve their understanding because of several reasons The example sentences are abundant but they are only written in Thai pronunciation a very idiosyncratic way which is hard to get used to far from phonetic and English translation Problem is there is no word by word glossing so you have no way of knowing which word means what unless you speak Thai of course An introduction to Thai sentence structures or word formation is missing completely it just throws your right into translations of English collocations and sentence types so it s not useful for linguists who want to look up a certain feature in Thai but do not speak the language themselves Also explanations are missing you won t learn the order of words in a Thai sentence as I had actually hoped for there are no explanations on the exact situations in what you have tose which different translations apart from really really brief two sentence statements that are very vague. Book thai reference grammar check I read through the book hoping to finally understand where adverbial clauses go in Thai in which situations or constructions because this is kind of difficult or some explanations of how and when to use and but about in the middle I couldn t take it any and I skipped the examples and hoped to find something interesting that I either didn t know yet or that would shed some light on Thai Syntax I didn t find anything I really recommend to read the Thai grammar by David Smyth This book here might still be useful though when you suddenly want to know how to say For about 2 years or If he had gone or for a list of common classifiers so it s at least not completelyseless But I was very disappointed Paperback
