Questions & Answers about ฉัน ไม่ รู้ รหัส ไวไฟ ค่ะ
Since the current lesson is about using ขอ (kho) to make polite requests, how would I actually ask for the wifi password?
You would say ขอรหัสไวไฟค่ะ (kho ra-hat wai-fai kha), which means 'May I have the wifi password?'. The sentence in this example is just stating a fact (I don't know it), which is exactly why you might need to use ขอ to ask someone else for it!
Why do we use รู้ (ru) here instead of รู้จัก (ru-jak) for 'know'?
รู้ (ru) is used for knowing facts, pieces of information, or knowing how to do something. รู้จัก (ru-jak) is used when you are personally familiar with a person, a place, or a physical thing. Since a password is a piece of information, we must use รู้.
Why is the word order รหัส ไวไฟ (password wifi) and not the other way around?
In Thai, the main noun always comes first, followed by the word that modifies or describes it. Since the main thing we are talking about is the รหัส (code or password), and ไวไฟ (wifi) just tells us which specific password it is, it must be ordered as รหัสไวไฟ.
Is ไวไฟ (wai-fai) just the English word 'wifi'?
Yes! It is a direct loanword from English. It is pronounced exactly like 'wifi' in English, and it is written using the Thai vowel ไ- (ai) twice to match the 'wai' and 'fai' sounds.
