it's like "if it was like this..." 

 

For example:

 

"Tha samut wah" I go to the store first then come back to get you later would that be ok?

 

like "consider this option" then you give the option or explain the possible scenario.

Thanks. Just started fiddling around with AI and this was the reply.

 

In Thai spoken language, the phrase that sounds like "Tah samut wah..." at the beginning of a sentence is likely "ถ้าสมมติว่า..." (pronounced thâa sà-mùt wâa). This phrase translates to "If we assume that..." or "Suppose that..." in English. It’s commonly used to introduce a hypothetical situation or condition, setting the stage for a discussion about possibilities or assumptions.For example:ถ้าสมมติว่าเรามีเงินล้านบาท... (Thâa sà-mùt wâa rao mee nguen lâan bàat...) means "If we assume that we have a million baht..."

It’s a conversational way to propose a "what if" scenario in Thai.

Cool I didn't know you could ask AI questions like that. That's what I was looking for and correct answer. I couldn't find the words myself.

I think the Thai is, ถ้าสมมุติว่า
