chinnotes Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 What is the difference between ไม่ได้นั่ง and นั่งไม่ได้? I understand the difference as follows (but my Thai is by no means perfect): If somevody invites you to sit down (and to stay a while), but you have no time to do so, you may answer "นั่งไม่ได้" I can't sit down, I have no time... If you go somewhere by bus and later you tell somebody ไม่ได้นั่ง that means "I didn't sit down (because there were no free seats) Erwin (อัศวิน) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
