¢¹Ò´
Would like a few examples (provide more than one sentence) of how to incorporate the word ¢¹Ò´ into my sentence when I request a specific size of beverage or food item from a food vendor/cashier/etc..
I will use McDonald's for my example. If I requested a large Coke, I would say something like ¼ÁàÍÒâ¤é¡á¡éÇãËè which is understood ̣(may or may not be correct, but the Thai listener understands what I am trying to say most of the time).
However, my tones are not always correct and that Thai listener may not know if I mean ãËè or ä or ÂÒ etc..
I would like to incorporate the word ¢¹Ò´ in the sentence so they will know I am trying to say the size. I would say something like ¼ÁàÍÒâ¤é¡á¡éÇ¢¹Ò´ãËè
This may be wrong, so looking for some examples of the correct way to say this. Not looking for an overly formal way and want to stick with a sentence that is common as it will increase my chances on being understood. Also, would like to incorporate the number of items in my sentence. Like for example, I would like 2 large Cokes. However, I still want to include the word ¢¹Ò´.

You can leave out the ¢¹Ò´, otherwise you will sound artificial like a Farang - notice that Thais tend to leave out Words, shorten something whenever there is a possibility and when it is clear what you are talking about.
Even if you hit the wrong Tone for the Word ãËè in your example sentence, I bet that you always will be understood - because what else could you ask for when combined with the 2 Words â¤é¡ and á¡éÇ, every Thai would intuitional know that the other Word has to be ãËè, no matter you mispronounced it or not.My interesting blog about Thailand at Thailand Blog ---> click here
