Questions & Answers about ฝน ตก มาก เดือน พฤษภาคม ค่ะ
Why does the sentence start with ฝน (rain) instead of a word for 'it'?
In Thai, you don't use a placeholder subject like 'it' for weather. Instead, you say what the weather is actually doing. The phrase for 'it rains' is literally 'rain falls' (ฝนตก).
There is no word for 'in' before May. Can I really just leave it out?
Yes! In Thai, you usually don't need a preposition like 'in' or 'on' before time expressions. You can just place the time phrase (เดือนพฤษภาคม) directly into the sentence.
Why is the word เดือน (month) used right before the name of the month?
In Thai, it is standard to put the word เดือน (month) in front of the actual month name, translating literally to 'the month of May'. While you might hear native speakers drop it in casual speech, keeping it is standard and clear.
Why is มาก (a lot) placed before the month instead of at the very end of the sentence?
Adverbs that describe the action (like มาก for 'a lot') usually go right after the verb phrase (ฝนตก). Time phrases like เดือนพฤษภาคม act as the setting and typically go at the very end of the sentence, after any adverbs.
