How do you pronounce it?
wat di Siri
Did you know?
- The word สวัสดี is derived from the Sanskrit word 'svasti', meaning 'well-being' or 'prosperity'. When you say หวัดดี, you are technically wishing the assistant well-being.
- While หวัดดี is used for Siri, a human would rarely be greeted this way in a professional setting. Using this shortened form with a superior could be seen as overly familiar or impolite.
- Because Thai does not use spaces between words, voice recognition software must use complex algorithms to know exactly where the greeting หวัดดี ends and the name 'Siri' begins.
