Did you know?

  • The word คน ('person') also has a completely different meaning in Thai: it can mean 'to stir' a pot or a drink.
  • While ทุกคน is the standard for 'everyone', if you are speaking to a group of people and want to sound especially polite, you might replace คน with the formal classifier ท่าน, forming ทุกท่าน.
  • While ทุกคน means 'everyone', adding the word หมด ('all') to the end as ทุกคนหมด adds a sense of absolute completion, leaving no single person out.
