Questions & Answers about พวก เขา ซื้อ รถยนต์ ใหม่ ครับ
Why is the word for "new" placed after "car"?
In Thai, describing words like ใหม่ (new) always come after the noun they describe. So, instead of saying "new car" like in English, Thai uses the order รถยนต์ใหม่ (car new).
Does พวก mean "they" on its own?
เขา usually means "he" or "she". The word พวก means a group of something. When you put them together, พวกเขา literally means "group of him/her", which translates to the plural "they".
What is the difference between รถ and รถยนต์?
Both mean "car" or "vehicle". รถ is the everyday, general word for almost any vehicle. รถยนต์ specifically means "automobile" or "car" and is slightly more formal, though still very commonly used.
The English translation says "buy", but could this also mean "bought"?
Yes! Thai verbs like ซื้อ (to buy) do not change their form to show past, present, or future tense. Without extra time words (like "yesterday" or "tomorrow"), this sentence could mean "They buy", "They bought", or "They are buying" depending on the context.
