Questions & Answers about เพื่อน ไม่ ชอบ หมา

Why is ไม่ placed before ชอบ?
In Thai, to make a verb negative, you simply put the word ไม่ (not) directly in front of the verb. Since ชอบ means "to like", ไม่ชอบ means "do not like" or "does not like".
Where is the word for "my" in this sentence?
There isn't one! The word เพื่อน just means "friend". In Thai, possessive words like "my" or "your" are often dropped if it is obvious who you are talking about.
The translation says "dogs", but does หมา mean singular or plural?
Thai nouns don't change to become plural. หมา can mean "a dog" or "dogs". In a general statement about liking or disliking an animal, English uses the plural, so "dogs" is the most natural translation here.
Why doesn't the verb ชอบ change to show "does not" instead of "do not"?
Thai grammar is very straightforward here! Verbs never change their form to match the subject (like "I do" vs. "he does" in English). You just use ไม่ชอบ whether the subject is "I", "you", or "my friend".
