Let’s learn about Thai shapes!<\/p>\n

For shapes with less than five sides, English has a different word for each shape:<\/span><\/p>\n

1 – line segment<\/span><\/p>\n

2 – angle<\/p>\n

3 – triangle<\/p>\n

4 – square, rectangle, rhombus, diamond, parallelogram, or quadrilateral<\/p>\n

5 – pentagon<\/p>\n

6 – hexagon<\/p>\n

7 \u2013 heptagon<\/p>\n

etc.<\/p>\n

The word \u2018gon\u2019 means \u2018angle\u2019, meaning you are describing how many angles each shape consists of. \u00a0For example, a pentagon has \u2018penta\u2019 (five) angles. But it\u2019s so hard to remember which is \u2018penta\u2019, \u2018hepta\u2019, etc. . . .<\/p>\n

Highschool geometry note: the number of sides a shape has is equal to the number of angles a shape has.<\/span><\/p>\n

Useless knowledge: there exists the words monogon (line), digon (angle), trigon (triangle), and tetragon (square), but no one actually uses these words.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naming a shape is much easier in Thai than in English. You simple say a number, followed by the Thai word for \u2018corner.\u2019It\u2019s a bit like in English where we say \u2018triangle\u2019, \u2018tri\u2019 meaning three, meaning it has three angles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, a triangle would be \u20183 corners\u2019, or saam5 liem2 \u0e2a\u0e32\u0e21\u0e40\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e35\u0e48\u0e22\u0e21<\/strong>. A square would be see2 liem2 \u0e2a\u0e35\u0e48\u0e40\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e35\u0e48\u0e22\u0e21<\/strong>. There are no Thai words for \u2018rectangle\u2019 or \u2018rhombus\u2019 \u2013 you\u2019d have to use additional adjectives to describe those.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
