Questions & Answers about มี หน้าต่าง เยอะ ห้อง ก็เลย ดู โปร่ง ขนาดนี้ ครับ
In English we say "this airy", putting "this" before the adjective. Why is ขนาดนี้ placed after the adjective in Thai?
In Thai, demonstrative degree modifiers like ขนาดนี้ (to this extent / this much) act as adverbs. Just like the word มาก (very), they must come after the adjective they modify. So "this airy" naturally becomes โปร่งขนาดนี้ (airy to-this-extent).
The translation uses "so" and the Thai sentence uses ก็เลย. Since there is an effect, shouldn't there be a เพราะ (because) at the beginning?
You could start the sentence with เพราะ (because), but in everyday spoken Thai, it is completely normal to drop it. As long as you keep ก็เลย (so / therefore) in the second half of the sentence, the cause-and-effect relationship is perfectly clear to a Thai speaker.
I originally learned that ดู means "to watch" or "to look at". How does it mean "looks" here?
Just like in English, ดู can mean both the action of looking at something (like watching TV) and the way something appears. When you put ดู directly before an adjective like โปร่ง (airy), it means "appears" or "looks".
What exactly does the word โปร่ง describe? Can it be used for things other than rooms?
โปร่ง means airy, clear, or well-ventilated. It describes a space where air or light passes through easily. Besides a room, you can use it to describe a clear sky, a forest that isn't too dense, or even a clear, uncluttered mind.
