Questions & Answers about ฤดูฝน ฝน ตก ทุกวัน ค่ะ
Why is the word ฝน (rain) in this sentence twice?
The first ฝน is part of the compound word ฤดูฝน which means "rainy season" (literally "season of rain"). The second ฝน is the subject of the sentence. In Thai, you do not use a dummy subject like "it" to say "it rains". Instead, you say "rain falls" (ฝนตก).
There is no word for "in" at the beginning of the sentence. Is that normal?
Yes! In Thai, time phrases or seasons like ฤดูฝน can just be placed at the very beginning of the sentence to set the context or topic. You do not need a preposition like "in" or "during" before it.
I learned that ตก means "to fall". Is it only used for rain?
It means "to fall" or "to drop" in a general sense, but it is the standard verb used with weather that comes from the sky, like rain (ฝนตก) or snow (หิมะตก). For a person physically falling over, you would use a different word like ล้ม.
The polite particle at the end is ค่ะ. Could a female speaker use คะ here instead?
