Questions & Answers about โรงเรียน เลิก กี่โมง คะ
Why is กี่โมง at the end of the sentence?
In English we start with "What time", but in Thai, question words usually go exactly where the answer will be. You are literally asking "School finish what time?". If the answer is 4 o'clock, it perfectly replaces the question word: โรงเรียน เลิก 4 โมง.
Does เลิก just mean "to finish"?
The word เลิก specifically means "to let out", "to dismiss", or "to quit". It is the natural word to use for a school day ending, a class finishing, or getting off work. You wouldn't use it for finishing a piece of homework or a meal.
Where is the word for "does" in this sentence?
Thai doesn't use helping verbs like "do" or "does" to make a question. You just state the subject (โรงเรียน - school) and the action (เลิก - finish) right next to each other.
How do you remember the word for school (โรงเรียน)?
It helps to break it down! โรง means "building" and เรียน means "to study or learn". So a school is literally a "study building".
Is คะ part of the time question?
No, คะ is simply a polite particle used by female speakers at the end of a sentence. It makes the question sound polite and friendly. Male speakers would replace this with ครับ.
