How do you express "pain" in Thai?

To express "pain" in Thai, the term used is เจ็บ (jep). This word is specifically associated with discomfort or hurt, making it the appropriate choice when discussing feelings of pain in the body.

In the context of expressing feelings or bodily sensations, เจ็บ (jep) directly communicates the experience of pain, whether it’s a result of injury, illness, or other physical issues. The other terms relate to different concepts: บิดเบี้ยว (bit biao) refers to something being distorted or twisted, หาย (hai) means to recover or disappear, and ตาย (tai) translates to "die." These do not convey the idea of pain, which reinforces why เจ็บ (jep) is the correct and relevant term for expressing that experience in Thai.
