ผม/ฉันแพ้ถั่วเปลือกแข็งทุกชนิดครับ / ค่ะ
Phǒm / Chǎn pháe thùa plùeak khǎeng thúk chanít khráp / khâ.
I have a nut allergy.
Usage
Declares a tree-nut allergy. Peanut (thùa lísǒng) and soy (thùa lěuang) are separate allergens and must each be stated separately
Grammar Note
"pháe" alone means "to be allergic". The sentence-final particle is the low-tone ค่ะ because this is a statement, not the high-tone คะ used in questions. Do NOT use ถั่ว alone — Thai ถั่ว spans the legumes (ถั่วเหลือง soy, ถั่วลิสง peanut, ถั่วเขียว mung bean) as well as tree nuts, and "pháe thùa" is in practice usually heard as a peanut allergy. To name the tree-nut category, ถั่ว takes เปลือกแข็ง ("hard-shelled"), giving ถั่วเปลือกแข็ง, and ทุกชนิด ("every kind") makes the scope explicit. This wording is common in Thai food-allergy material, but it could NOT be confirmed as the statutory term in a Ministry of Public Health notification (the variant ถั่วที่มีเปลือกแข็ง also occurs)
