Tips to Remember the Thai Word:

1. Sound Association: The word "ขอโทษ" is pronounced "kho thot." Associating "kho" with "call" in English and "thot" with "thought" can help as they slightly resemble the sounds.

2. Visual Mnemonic: Imagine calling someone to apologize and saying you were "caught thinking" (sound similar to "kho thot").

3. Break Down: "ขอ" (kho) can mean "to ask for" and "โทษ" (thot) can mean "blame." So, you are asking for blame, i.e., apologizing.

Explanations:

– "ขอโทษ" (kho thot) is a formal term used to express regret or to apologize for an error or fault.

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:

1. เสียใจ (sia jai): This means "sorry" in the context of expressing sympathy or remorse rather than apology.

2. อภัย (aphai): Means "to forgive" and is often used in the context where forgiveness is sought.

Alternate Meanings and Slang:

– In certain contexts, especially among friends or in casual situations, "ขอโทษ" might be used more lightly, similar to saying "my bad" in English.

– It can sometimes be used sarcastically, depending on tone and context, to imply that one isn’t actually sorry.

Examples of Sentences:

1. Formal Apology:
– ขอโทษที่มาสายครับ/ค่ะ (Kho thot thi ma sai khrab/kha).
– Translation: "I'm sorry for being late."

2. Casual Setting:
– ขอโทษนะ เดี๋ยวซื้อกาแฟมาให้ (Kho thot na diao sue kafae ma hai).
– Translation: "Sorry, I’ll get you a coffee."

3. Expressing Sympathy:
– ขอโทษที่ได้ยินเรื่องนี้ (Kho thot thi dai yin rueang ni).
– Translation: "I'm sorry to hear about this."

By using these breakdowns and associations, the term "ขอโทษ" can be remembered and used effectively in various contexts of apology and sympathy in Thai conversations.
