Questions & Answers about กระบวนการ นี้ มี สาม ข้อ
Why does นี้ come directly after กระบวนการ without a classifier in between?
Usually, Thai requires a classifier before a demonstrative like นี้ (this). However, abstract nouns, especially those ending with การ, often act as their own classifiers. Instead of repeating the word, you can just put นี้ directly after the noun.
The translation says 'steps', but doesn't ข้อ usually mean something else?
Yes, ข้อ literally refers to a joint, but it is very commonly used as a noun or classifier for 'items', 'points', or 'clauses' in a list. While you could use the specific word for step (ขั้นตอน), using ข้อ here implies the procedure is laid out as a numbered list of three points.
How is the word กระบวนการ (procedure) built?
It is a compound word. กระบวน means a sequence, procession, or process. Adding การ (a common word part that indicates a formal matter, activity, or abstract noun) makes it the formal noun กระบวนการ, meaning 'procedure' or 'process'.
