There are a few ways to say I miss you in Thai. Let me list down 3 ways from most formal, cutest, to friendliest.
Later, I will give you expressions so you can finally use them with someone you love.
To say “miss you” by itself is คิดถึง (kít tĕung).
Most formal:
- I miss you (a woman saying it)
ฉันคิดถึงคุณ
chăn kít tĕung kun - I miss you (a man saying it)
ผมคิดถึงคุณ
pŏm kít tĕung kun
This is a very formal way of saying I miss you in Thai. There are lots of pronouns in Thai and using ฉัน/ผม คุณ Is the most formal way to say I and you in Thai.
Cutest:
- Miss you _name_ na
คิดถึง _name_ นะ
kít tĕung _name_ ná
(replace _name_ with the name of the person you miss)
Example: kít tĕung Grace ná
The นะ ná at the end is a particle that makes the sentence sound cute.
Friendliest/most informal
- I miss you
กูคิดถึงมึง
goo kít tĕung meung
In Thai, we have an informal pronoun for close friends and for informal situations. Here กู (goo) means I, มึง (meung) means you. Please read my article on swear words and insults for more information.
