Questions & Answers about มี นก ที่ สวน เยอะ ครับ
The current lesson is about pronouns, but there aren't any in this sentence. How do we say "there are"?
Unlike English, Thai doesn't use a pronoun like "there" or "it" to introduce existence. You simply use the word มี, which means "to have", but also translates to "there is" or "there are".
How do we know นก means "birds" plural here, rather than just one bird?
Thai nouns don't change their spelling to become plural. We know there is more than one bird because of the word เยอะ (a lot / many) used later in the sentence.
Why is เยอะ (many) at the end of the sentence instead of right next to นก (birds)?
In English, we put the quantity before the noun ("many birds"). In Thai, words that describe amounts often come at the end of the phrase or sentence. The literal word order here is "Have bird at park a lot".
What does ที่ do in this sentence?
ที่ is a very common word used to indicate location, translating to "at" or "in". It tells us that the birds are located "at" the park (ที่ สวน).
