Questions & Answers about สี แดง หมายถึง อันตราย
Why do we need the word สี before แดง? Can I just say แดงหมายถึงอันตราย?
In English, you can just say red, but in Thai, when referring to a color as a general noun or concept, you must include the word สี (color) before it. Saying just แดง here would sound incomplete, as it usually acts as an adjective describing a noun.
I usually use แปลว่า to say means. Why does this sentence use หมายถึง instead?
The word แปลว่า is used for literal translations of words or phrases, such as translating from English to Thai. The word หมายถึง means to signify or to refer to. Because the color red is a visual symbol that signifies the concept of danger, rather than a word being translated, you must use หมายถึง.
Is the word อันตราย a noun or an adjective in this sentence?
It functions as a noun meaning danger in this context. In Thai, the word อันตราย is very flexible and can be used as both a noun (danger) and an adjective (dangerous) without changing its form or adding any extra prefixes.
