Questions & Answers about ผม ชอบ ฤดูร้อน เพราะ ได้ ไป ทะเล ครับ
I know ร้อน means "hot", but what is ฤดู?
ฤดู means "season". Thai creates the names for seasons by combining ฤดู with a descriptive word. So, ฤดูร้อน literally means "hot season", which is how you say "summer".
Why is ได้ placed before the verb ไป? I thought it goes at the end to mean "can".
When ได้ comes after a verb, it means you have the ability or permission to do something. However, when ได้ is placed before an action verb like ไป, it means you "get to" do it or have the opportunity to do it. Here, it means "get to go".
After เพราะ (because), why isn't there another ผม (I) to say "because I get to go"?
Can I use ทะเล to mean "the beach" too?
Yes! ทะเล literally means "the sea", but Thai people commonly use it to mean "the beach" as a destination. While there is a specific word for the sandy shore itself, saying you are going to ทะเล is the most natural way to express going on a beach trip in Thai.
