When in doubt

If you don't know the classifier, 'อัน' is a safe bet, but 'ใบ' is better for flat things.

  • Noun + Number + Classifier

Errores comunes

In Thai, the classifier comes after the number, not before.

Wrong: ใบสามแอปเปิ้ล
Correcto: แอปเปิ้ลสามใบ

'Took' typically follows the noun it modifies.

Wrong: ทุกแอปเปิ้ล
Correcto: แอปเปิ้ลทุกใบ

Add the classifier to 'bang' to make it sound natural.

Wrong: แอปเปิ้ลบ้าง
Correcto: แอปเปิ้ลบางใบ
