Questions & Answers about เขา ทำ อาหาร ยังไง ก็ อร่อย ค่ะ
How does ยังไง ก็ translate to 'no matter how' in this sentence?
Pairing a question word like ยังไง (how) with the particle ก็ before the result creates an inclusive 'no matter [question word]' or 'any' meaning. So the phrase ทำ อาหาร ยังไง ก็ literally acts like 'He cooks how, then...' which translates smoothly to 'No matter how he cooks...' or 'However he cooks...'.
Why is ยังไง placed after ทำ อาหาร instead of at the beginning of the clause?
In Thai, question words generally don't move to the front of the sentence like they do in English. They stay in the same spot where the answer would go. Because you would normally say 'He cooks [this way]', the word ยังไง follows the verb phrase ทำ อาหาร.
The translation says 'it's delicious', but there is no word for 'it' in the Thai sentence. Why?
Thai frequently drops pronouns when the context makes them obvious. Here, the topic is clearly the food he cooks, so you can jump straight to the adjective อร่อย (delicious) right after ก็ without needing a pronoun for 'it'.
Could I use อย่างไร instead of ยังไง here?
Yes, the sentence เขา ทำ อาหาร อย่างไร ก็ อร่อย ค่ะ is perfectly correct grammatically. However, ยังไง is the common spoken version of อย่างไร. In everyday conversation, ยังไง sounds much more natural, which is why it is used in this spoken-style sentence.
