Whenever you use the words ไม่ใช่ in response to a question, you will usually follow with a statement that corrects whatever was wrong. Where someone is asking your name, you have a couple of options for correcting them.
Example question:
Answer type one:
Answer type two:
Note that ไม่ ใช่ mâi-châi can appear before a name (a noun) but not before ชื่อ (a verb). ไม่ได้ must be used before ชื่อ.
In the example above, ไม่ใช่ means is not, where ไม่ได้ means was not. ไม่ได้ is used to refer to things that happened in the past, but also as can not when talking about certain types of verbs. We will learn how to talk about future, present, and past in an upcoming lesson.
Active Thai is a work in progress. Please check back often for new lessons.
