เขา มี หนังสือ ของ นักเรียน ไหม ครับ

Questions & Answers about เขา มี หนังสือ ของ นักเรียน ไหม ครับ

Why does the Thai sentence say 'book of student' instead of 'student's book'?
In Thai, the possessive word ของ works like the English word 'of'. You always put the object first, then ของ, and finally the owner. So 'the student's book' becomes หนังสือ ของ นักเรียน (book of student).
Does the verb มี change because the subject is 'he'?
No, Thai verbs never change their spelling or endings! The word มี (to have) stays exactly the same no matter who is doing the having (I, you, he, she, or they).
Where is the word for 'Does' in this sentence?
Thai doesn't use helper verbs like 'do' or 'does' to make questions. Instead, you just build a normal statement and add the question particle ไหม at the very end to turn it into a yes/no question.
Can เขา mean 'she' as well as 'he'?
Yes, เขา is a general third-person pronoun. Depending on who you are talking about, it can mean 'he', 'she', or even 'they'. The translation says 'he' here, but 'she' would be equally correct without more context.
