How about saying "thanks" to a friend? Make just a little change to the word, and then the meaning is different. When you want to say "thanks" to your friends, you may say khàawp-jai. You may say this to someone younger than you or someone with lower social status than you, such as your younger sister. Khàawp-jai indicates that you are very close to the person. However, we don't add the words khâ, khráp, or ná to make it more polite, but instead we add the word jà. This means, for both men and women, we say khàawp-jai jà.

I've always used "ahtit" for week. Never been misunderstood.
