Questions & Answers about คุณ จอง โต๊ะ ของ ใคร ครับ
Why is ใคร at the end of the sentence instead of the beginning like in English?
This sentence uses an in-situ question word. In Thai, question words like ใคร (who) don't jump to the front of the sentence. They stay in the exact spot where the answer will go. You are literally asking, "You book table of who?"
How do you form the word "whose" in Thai?
Thai makes "whose" by combining ของ (which means "of" or "belonging to") and ใคร (which means "who"). Together, ของ ใคร translates to "of who" or "whose".
Why is the order โต๊ะ ของ ใคร (table of who) instead of ของ ใคร โต๊ะ (whose table)?
In Thai grammar, the main noun always comes first, followed by any words that describe or modify it. Since ของ ใคร tells us more about the โต๊ะ (table), it has to come right after it.
The translation says "did you book," but there is no past tense word. How do we know it is in the past?
Thai verbs do not change tense, and while you can use extra words to show the past, they are often dropped if the context is obvious. If you are asking someone about a reservation they hold, it is understood that they already booked it.
