Questions & Answers about รอ เดี๋ยว ได้ ไหม คะ
Why is ได้ placed at the end of the sentence instead of the beginning?
In Thai, to ask if someone can do something, you put the action first, then add ได้ไหม at the very end. Here, you are literally asking wait a moment, can you?
How is เดี๋ยว being used here?
It generally refers to a short amount of time. You will often see it used by itself to mean later or just a sec. In this sentence, it directly follows รอ to mean wait just a moment.
Where is the word for you in this sentence?
Thai frequently drops pronouns when the context makes it obvious. Since you are speaking directly to the person you want to wait, you do not need to say the Thai word for you.
Why does this sentence use คะ instead of ค่ะ?
Female speakers use คะ for asking questions, and ค่ะ for making statements. Because this sentence asks a question using ไหม, the polite particle must be คะ.
