Questions & Answers about ทุก คน หวัง ว่า จะ เกิด ปาฏิหาริย์ ขึ้น ครับ

Why does เกิด come before the word for miracle instead of after it?
เกิด is an existential verb used to introduce the occurrence of something. In Thai, these verbs are placed before the noun that is happening or appearing. So instead of the English word order 'a miracle happens', Thai phrasing acts more like 'happens a miracle'.
What is the purpose of ขึ้น at the end of the phrase?
While ขึ้น literally means 'up', here it acts as a directional word that completes the action of เกิด. Together, เกิด...ขึ้น gives the sense of an event arising or springing into existence. It wraps around the noun: เกิด + [abstract/event noun] + ขึ้น.
Do I always need to use ว่า after หวัง here?
Yes, when you are hoping 'that' an entire event will happen, you must use หวังว่า. It connects the main verb to the following clause. Unlike English where you can often drop the word 'that', you generally cannot drop ว่า in Thai.
How is the complex-looking word ปาฏิหาริย์ pronounced?
It is pronounced 'pa-ti-han'. The symbol above the final consonant is a silence mark (karan), meaning that the final letter is not pronounced at all. It is a loanword from Pali/Sanskrit, which is why the spelling looks so complicated compared to its pronunciation.
