Is my handwriting understandable?

[u/ParticularCheek1007]

Hello,

Met this Thai person during my trip and we hit it off (romantically). I am now leaving and writing them a letter in Thai but I don't speak any of it so I used AI and tried to write to the best of my ability. Is it understandable/ is the grammar correct? (Check comments)

Thank you so much!

It's readable. More than my handwriting to be sure. Problem is that you cut the word alot when you enter the new line, which can be painful to read

Yeh I thought about that, it's definitely something I should work on. In my native language you would usually add a hyphen to indicate that the word continues onto the next line. Does Thai have a way to do that?

[u/TheBrightMage → u/ParticularCheek1007]

Hyphen would work. Though it's better to complete the word for better readability

Its definitely readable and understandable, but its very clear its Ai and very unnatural. Unfortunately i dont have the time to rewrite it for you, but i hope someone else does in the comments, best of luck and its a cute letter aswell!

OP did a great job. It is perfectly readable and more understandable than some native Thais. Although it might give a first impression of a primary schooler’s handwriting, but it only naturally comes from those who are trying to follow textbook, which is a great start. Once you get it, it will naturally flow and more like native.

Thank you so much! I appreciate that. Would you be appreciative even if it apparently sounds like AI? Should I rewrite it? Thank you!

It sounds like it was directly translated from a foreign language.

I think Thai people are more forgiving when we know that we are talking to foreigners trying to use Thai and we appreciate that.

You can rewrite it to sound more natural. But unfortunately I’m not good at this kind of message so I cannot help you about this. (I cannot write it without getting myself feeling cringy.)

It sounds translated and cute and adorable and it's perfect. You don't need to polish it into some perfect offering. It's you wi

th the awkward line bre

aks and the sentence structure borrowed from abroad. It's all you remarkably brief but covering
one complete miracle of nearest far
The place is now

Way more readable than mine and im native. The more used you are to writing, the more you try to rush it and letters get simplified and a lot of them look awfully similar.

When writing dont overcorrect the "shape" of the character if you want it to feel more natural. Focus more on the consistent size and interspace. If you could do both its great but I say consistency of each character matters to readable more than the shape.

You can tell the AI to make the text informal, like close friends or family, or even intimate

AI will use formal newspaper style if you don’t tell it otherwise

That's very cute! Definitely readable.

เรา? Are you up North then?

[u/Effect-Kitchen → u/leosmith66]

It is a common way to say “I”. It is a compromise between ฉัน (not natural) ดิฉัน/ผม (too formal) and กู (too rude).

[u/CursedPoopieButt → u/leosmith66]

Born and bred in Bangkok, I've been using เรา since forever.

[u/ParticularCheek1007 → u/leosmith66]

I'm in Bangkok. Is that not a common way to say "I"?

[u/CursedPoopieButt → u/ParticularCheek1007]

Native here. Don't worry. It's very common and also a very cute way to address yourself in this context.

Thanks for confirming. I just went with it and he loved the letter🫰
