I think this is more a cultural than a language question: My 4-year old granddaughter was needling me why men use khrup and women kha. "That's the way it is" wasn't enough for her. To explain it was cultural wasn't going to work for a 4-year old either. She is at an age where she needs a story.

Any thoughts?

I always thought that the word Sawasdee Kha is derived from a Sanskrit word,Swastika.
