Questions & Answers about ฤดูฝน มา ก่อน ฤดูหนาว ค่ะ
How do you form the names of seasons in Thai like ฤดูฝน?
You start with the word for season, ฤดู, and add a noun or adjective right after it. ฝน means rain, so ฤดูฝน literally translates to the season of rain. In the same way, หนาว means cold, making ฤดูหนาว the cold season.
Is มา the right verb to use when talking about time or seasons?
Yes, Thai uses the verb มา (to come) for seasons, holidays, and times arriving. This works exactly like English when we say a new season is coming.
Is ก่อน used exactly like the English word before?
In this sentence, yes. When placed between two nouns or events, ก่อน means chronologically before. However, as an A2 learner, keep in mind that if you put ก่อน at the very end of an action sentence, it translates to doing something first.
If I wanted to say after instead of before, how would the sentence change?
You would replace ก่อน with หลัง. The sentence structure stays exactly the same, so you could say ฤดูหนาว มา หลัง ฤดูฝน which means the cool season comes after the rainy season.
