Questions & Answers about ต้นไม้ สี เขียว สวย มาก ค่ะ
Why does the sentence say ต้นไม้ สี เขียว (tree color green) instead of "green tree"?
In Thai, describing words (adjectives) always come after the noun they describe. So instead of saying "green tree", you say "tree green". Also, when talking about colors, Thai speakers usually put the word สี (color) directly before the color's name.
Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?
There isn't one! In Thai, you don't use a "to be" verb (like is, am, or are) with adjectives. Adjectives like สวย (beautiful) act like verbs on their own. You just put the subject and the adjective together to mean "is beautiful".
Does มาก (very) always come after the adjective?
Yes, modifying words like มาก (very) come after the adjective they describe. So instead of "very beautiful", Thai says สวย มาก (beautiful very).
Why does the word for tree, ต้นไม้, have two parts?
ต้น means trunk or stem, and ไม้ means wood. Put them together and you get a tree! You will often see ต้น at the beginning of names for different plants and flowers.
