Questions & Answers about นี่ อาหาร หวาน ค่ะ
Why is the order อาหาร หวาน (food sweet) instead of "sweet food"?
In Thai, adjectives (words that describe things) always come after the noun they describe. So you say the noun อาหาร (food) first, and then describe it with หวาน (sweet).
The current lesson is about มาก (very). How would I use it in this sentence?
You place มาก directly after the describing word it modifies. To say "This is very sweet food," you would say นี่ อาหาร หวาน มาก ค่ะ.
Where is the Thai word for "is" in this sentence?
Thai often skips the verb for "is" when pointing something out with นี่ (this). Saying นี่ อาหาร หวาน literally means "This [is] sweet food," and is perfectly correct without adding the words เป็น or คือ.
I learned that "this" is นี้. Why does this sentence use นี่ instead?
