Questions & Answers about เขา ชอบ สี แดง ครับ
Why do we need the word สี (color) before แดง (red)?
In Thai, color words like แดง (red) usually function as adjectives. When you want to talk about a color as a noun (like saying 'He likes red'), you generally put สี (color) in front of it. So สีแดง literally means 'the color red.'
Can เขา mean 'she' as well as 'he'?
Yes! เขา is a very common pronoun that can mean 'he,' 'she,' or even 'they.' We translated it as 'he' here, but without extra context, it could just as easily mean 'She likes red.'
The polite word ครับ is used by males. Does it have to match the subject 'he'?
No, polite particles like ครับ (for male speakers) and ค่ะ (for female speakers) always depend on the gender of the person speaking, not the person you are talking about. The speaker of this sentence is male, regardless of who 'he' is.
How would I say 'He likes THIS red color' using the demonstrative adjectives from this lesson?
You use the pattern: Noun + Classifier + นี้ (this). For colors, the word สี acts as its own classifier! First you say the noun สีแดง (red color), then the classifier สี, and finally นี้ (this). The whole sentence becomes เขาชอบสีแดงสีนี้ครับ (He likes this red color).
