Questions & Answers about เขา คิด ว่า อะไร ก็ ไม่ สมบูรณ์แบบ ค่ะ
How does อะไรก็ไม่ mean "nothing" here?
To create a negative indefinite pronoun like "nothing" in Thai, you use the question word อะไร (what/anything), followed by the particle ก็, and then the negative marker ไม่ (not). It literally reads as "anything also not," so อะไรก็ไม่สมบูรณ์แบบ means "anything is not perfect," or simply, "nothing is perfect."
Is the word ว่า necessary after คิด?
Yes, in this context. ว่า acts like the English conjunction "that" to introduce a clause after verbs of thinking, speaking, or feeling. While English speakers often drop "that" (saying "He thinks nothing is perfect"), Thai requires ว่า to link คิด (think) to the full idea that follows it.
How is the word สมบูรณ์แบบ (perfect) formed?
It is made up of two words: สมบูรณ์ (complete or full) and แบบ (model, pattern, or style). Put together, a "complete model" or "flawless pattern" gives you the Thai word for "perfect".
If the subject is เขา (he), why does the sentence end with ค่ะ?
Polite particles always depend on the gender of the speaker, not the subject of the sentence. The presence of ค่ะ tells us that a woman is saying this sentence about him.
