Tips to Remember the Thai Word:

1. Visualization: Imagine two friends saying "we want" something in English and then repeating it in Thai as "เราต้องการ (rao tong gan)". Visualize them pointing to what they want as they say it, reinforcing the word in your memory.
2. Sound Association: The "rao" part sounds similar to "row" in English, as in "we row together" (togetherness). "Tong" can remind you of "tongue," which you use to express what you want. "Gan" is close to "garnish," which can make you think of adding something you want on top of your meal.
3. Chunking: Break it down into syllables: "รา-ต้อง-การ" (rao-tong-gan) and repeat each part slowly.

Explanations:

เราต้องการ (rao tong gan) is a compound of the words "เรา" (rao), which means "we," and "ต้องการ" (tong gan), which means "want" or "need."
– "ต้องการ" (tong gan) is often used to express desires or requirements, both mild and strong.

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:

อยาก (yak): More informal, usually means "want to" or "wish to," used for desires.
– Example: "เราอยากกิน" (rao yak gin) – "We want to eat."

Thai verbs do not conjugate based on tense like English verbs do. Instead, context and additional words indicate tense. Here are ways to express different tenses with "เราต้องการ (rao tong gan)":
