Questions & Answers about ภาษา ไทย ยาก ไหม ครับ
Why is it ภาษา ไทย (language Thai) instead of the other way around?
In Thai, describing words always come after the noun they describe. So to say "Thai language", you put ภาษา (language) first, followed by ไทย (Thai).
Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?
Thai does not use a "to be" verb (like is, am, or are) with adjectives. The word ยาก (difficult) connects directly to the subject. You just literally say "Thai language difficult".
Does adding ไหม change the word order of the sentence?
No, the word order stays exactly like a normal statement. To ask a yes/no question in Thai, you just build a regular sentence and add the question word ไหม at the end, right before the polite particle.
Can a female speaker use ครับ?
No, ครับ is the polite particle used only by male speakers. If you are a female speaker, you should replace it with คะ to ask a polite question.
