When to use it

You can use 'ດີ' to express approval or satisfaction. It is commonly used in everyday conversations. It can also be used to respond positively to a question or statement.

Say it out loud, get corrected

Reading it is not the same as saying it. Practice "Good" and thousands more with an AI coach that listens.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 'ດີ' with 'ດີແລ້ວ', thinking they are interchangeable, but 'ດີແລ້ວ' is more specific.

The fastest way to remember it

Vocabulary you only read fades fast. Vocabulary you say out loud sticks. Hear ດີ, repeat it a few times, then use it in a real sentence. SPAIKING lets you practice exactly that, speaking Lao with a coach that corrects your pronunciation in real time. You can start with two free conversations.
