Questions & Answers about ขอ รหัส ไวไฟ ค่ะ
How exactly does ขอ work in this sentence?
In this lesson's pattern, ขอ is used directly before a noun to politely say 'may I have'. It acts as the verb 'to ask for', so you don't need to add any extra Thai words for 'have' or 'get'. You just say ขอ plus the thing you want!
Why is the order รหัส ไวไฟ instead of 'wifi password'?
In Thai, the main noun always comes first, and the describing word comes after it. The main thing you want is the รหัส (password), and ไวไฟ (wifi) simply tells us which password it is. Literally, it reads as 'password wifi'.
Is ไวไฟ just the English word 'wifi'?
Yes! ไวไฟ is borrowed directly from English. Thais pronounce it very similarly, but remember to say both syllables with a flat, mid tone rather than using normal English intonation.
If I am a male speaker, do I still say ค่ะ at the end?
No, ค่ะ is the polite ending particle used by female speakers. If you are male, you must swap it for ครับ and say ขอ รหัส ไวไฟ ครับ instead.
