Thais
SayTYZ/taɪz/
- 1Plural of Thai.
Thais make up most of the country's population.
The temple festival drew thousands of Thais.
Note
Only the countable meanings of Thai take this regular -s plural: people from Thailand and cats of the Thai breed. The language and the cuisine are uncountable, and the adjective never inflects, so one speaks Thai and orders Thai, never Thais. The same spelling also belongs to the Greek given name, an unrelated word with its own origin.
Less common meaning
- 2A female given name from Ancient Greek.
