How do you say "Ready!"?

Featured Replies

Hi

Thanks for help earlier.

How do you say "Ready!" In Thai? If I get on the back of a motorbike taxi and want to tell the driver I am ready to go, what should I say?

I think I could say

ไป กัน เหอะ

"Let's go!"

But if I want to say something like "I'm ready." What should I say?

Thanks

Keep it simple.

Bpai.

ไป

Or bpai dai - ไปได้

พร้อม everything arranged/prepared and complete. Preparations are done, พร้อมแล้ว as รัานพร้อมแล้ว shop is ready. พร้อมไหม are you ready?

Thanks guys, I definitely appreciate.

I think I'll try ไป ได้ on the back of a motorbike and พร้อม แล้ว if someone calls me and asks if I am ready for something.

Say "OK"

Pai leuy!

Mai tong lieb, mai yak die wannee

women often use เสร็จหรือยัง, because women are never done ;)

ไป กัน เหอะ

i think you meant

ไป กัน เถอะ

ไป กัน เหอะ

i think you meant

ไป กัน เถอะ

Thanks for pointing out. I just got it from the link below. I don't have enough experience to say how these particles are used. I must log off a while now. I'll be back.

finish or not which is what "ready!?" means deep down (its a way not to say are you <deleted> finished)

correct...ไปกันเถอะ could definitely sound too abrupt/familiar if you're not close (or at least much older than the driver, and a very good speaker of Thai)...I think a simple ไปได้คับ is safest.
