Questions & Answers about คุณ ซื้อ ตั๋ว รถไฟ ยังไง ครับ
Why is ยังไง (how) at the end of the sentence instead of the beginning?
Unlike English, Thai uses "in-situ" question words. This means the question word usually goes in the exact same spot where the answer would be in a normal sentence. Instead of saying "How do you buy a train ticket?", the Thai word order is literally "You buy train ticket how?".
Why is it ตั๋ว รถไฟ (ticket train) instead of the other way around like in English?
In Thai, the main noun comes first, and the describing word comes after it. Since you are talking about a ticket (ตั๋ว) that is specifically for a train (รถไฟ), the word for train must follow the word for ticket.
Does รถไฟ literally mean "fire car"?
Yes! รถ means car or vehicle, and ไฟ means fire. Put them together and you get "fire vehicle," which is the Thai word for a train. It is a fun leftover term from the days of steam locomotives.
