hear

What does ได้ยิน mean?

To hear or be able to hear sounds. Thai speakers use this for both intentional listening and accidental hearing. Often used with question particle ไหม (mái) to ask 'Can you hear?' or in negative form ไม่ได้ยิน (mâi dâai-yin) meaning 'can't hear' or 'didn't hear'. Essential for phone calls, asking someone to repeat something, or describing hearing problems.
