PRONOUNS vary in Thai according to age, status, and the relationship of the people speaking to each other. The best pronouns for "I" for non Thais are PHOM for men and CHAN for women. These are neither too respectful nor too intimate. When talking with a friend a name may be used for "you", especially the one-syllable nicknames that Thai people have. Some people also use their own names for "I". In Thai, pronouns are often omitted in informal conversation, especially "I" and "you" and also 'she/he/they" if it's understood in context whom you're referring to. Pronouns don't change with part of speech. The same words are both "I" and "me", "he" and "him" , "she" and "her". Thai pronouns maybe used in more than one way, for example,THEUH is both "she" and 'you', and RAO can mean "we", "I", or "you" but normally "we". I (spoken by a woman) This is the most common, informal word for "I" for women. The pronunciation is"'high/short" informally, but rising/short in its written or formal form. THEE CHAN -ที่ฉันMore formal, could be used, for example, in a meeting where you don't know the people very well. This form of "I" is too formal for everyday conversation.
