Questions & Answers about ฉัน ซัก เสื้อผ้า ทุกวัน ค่ะ
Can I use ซัก to say I wash my car or my dishes?
No, Thai has different words for washing depending on what you are cleaning. ซัก is specifically used for washing clothes, fabric, or shoes. If you want to say you wash your hands, dishes, or a car, you would use the word ล้าง instead.
I recognize เสื้อ as shirt. What does ผ้า mean in the word เสื้อผ้า?
ผ้า means cloth or fabric. Thai often puts two related nouns together to create a broader category word. By combining shirt (เสื้อ) and cloth (ผ้า), you get เสื้อผ้า, which is the general word for clothes or clothing.
Does the frequency phrase ทุกวัน always have to go at the end of the sentence?
Yes, words that tell you how often something happens, like ทุกวัน (every day), almost always go at the end of a Thai sentence. They follow the Subject + Verb + Object structure. The only thing that comes after it here is the polite particle ค่ะ.
