The word \u2018to have\u2019 \u0e21\u0e35<\/strong> (mee1) in Thai is very important to learn and understand. Luckily it\u2019s grammatical usage is very similar to that in English. You can say \u2018I have\u2019, \u2018you have\u2019, \u2018it has\u2019, or \u2018no have\u2019. Below I have written plenty of usage examples in various useful situations. If you can\u2019t yet read Thai, or if you aren\u2019t sure of the pronunciation, just copy\/paste the words into your favorite website translator. I only used basic intro-level vocabulary – no need to panic!<\/p>\n
