Questions & Answers about ตอนนี้ น้ำมูก กับ เสมหะ หาย หรือเปล่า ครับ
Why is หาย placed after the symptoms instead of before them?
In this sentence, หาย acts as the main verb meaning "to disappear" or "to be gone." Since น้ำมูก (runny nose) and เสมหะ (phlegm) are physical things, they act as the subject that has disappeared. If you wanted to say "recovered from a cold," หาย would come before the illness, as in หายหวัด.
What does the word น้ำมูก literally mean?
It translates to "mucus water." The word น้ำ means water or fluid, and มูก refers to mucus. Together, they specifically describe nasal mucus or having a runny nose.
The word เสมหะ looks tricky to read. How is it pronounced?
It is pronounced "sem-ha" with a rising tone on the last syllable. It is a slightly formal or medical term for phlegm, which makes perfect sense if you are describing your symptoms to a doctor or pharmacist.
Could I use ไหม instead of หรือเปล่า at the end of this sentence?
Yes, you could say หายไหม, but หรือเปล่า (literally "or not?") is very natural here. You are asking for a factual confirmation of a change in state: are the symptoms gone, or are they not gone?
