Questions & Answers about หมอ ไม่ รู้ ค่ะ
Why does ไม่ come right before รู้?
In English, we use helper words like 'does not' to negate a verb. Thai is much simpler! To make a verb negative, you just place ไม่ directly in front of it. So ไม่ (not) + รู้ (know) gives us 'does not know'.
Where is the word for 'the' in this sentence?
Thai does not use articles like 'the', 'a', or 'an'. The word หมอ just means 'doctor'. You rely on the context of the conversation to know that the speaker means a specific doctor rather than doctors in general.
Can รู้ be used if the doctor doesn't know a person?
No, รู้ is only used for knowing facts, information, or situations. If you want to say the doctor does not know a specific person, you would need to use a completely different word in Thai.
Because the sentence ends in ค่ะ, does that mean the doctor is a woman?
Not necessarily! It tells us the person speaking the sentence is a woman. Polite particles like ค่ะ always match the gender of the speaker, regardless of who is being talked about. The doctor (หมอ) could be male or female.
