อยาก แต่งงาน ไหม คะ

Questions & Answers about อยาก แต่งงาน ไหม คะ

The current lesson is about asking 'when' using เมื่อไร, but this sentence uses ไหม. How would I ask 'When do you want to get married?' instead?
You would replace the yes/no question word ไหม with the 'when' question word เมื่อไร. The sentence becomes อยากแต่งงานเมื่อไรคะ. Notice that just like ไหม, the word เมื่อไร naturally sits at the end of the sentence before the polite particle!
Where is the word for 'you' in this sentence?
It is completely left out! In Thai, it is very common to drop pronouns like 'I' or 'you' when the context makes it obvious who is being talked to. If you wanted to include it to be extra clear, you could put คุณ at the very beginning.
Does the word for getting married, แต่งงาน, break down into smaller words?
Yes! แต่ง usually means 'to decorate' or 'to dress', and งาน means 'work', 'job', or 'event'. Put together, it paints a picture of dressing up for a special event or ceremony, which translates to getting married.
Can I use อยาก to say I want a physical object, like a wedding ring?
No, อยาก is only used right before verbs. It means you 'want to do' an action (like อยากแต่งงาน - want to get married). If you want a physical thing, you have to use a different word like อยากได้ or เอา.
