Questions & Answers about คุณ ฟัง เพลง อะไร ครับ
Why is อะไร (what) at the end of the sentence instead of at the beginning like in English?
In Thai, question words like อะไร usually stay in the exact same place where the answer would go. Since the answer would be 'I am listening to a pop song', the question is built as 'You are listening to what?'.
Why does it say เพลง อะไร (song what) instead of อะไร เพลง (what song)?
In Thai, nouns always come before the words that describe them or ask about them. Just like you would say 'shirt red' instead of 'red shirt', you say เพลง อะไร (song what) to ask 'what song'.
Is there a Thai word for 'to' in 'listening to'?
No, the Thai verb ฟัง (listen) connects directly to the thing being listened to. You don't need an extra preposition like 'to'. You simply say ฟัง เพลง (listen song).
How do we know it means 'are you listening' if there is no word for 'are' or '-ing'?
Thai verbs do not change form to show time. The word ฟัง can mean 'listen', 'listens', or 'is listening'. The context tells you it is happening right now. You could add a time word before the verb to strictly mean 'currently doing', but it is often skipped in everyday speech when the situation is obvious.
