Questions & Answers about กระเป๋า ของ ผม หาย แล้ว ครับ
Why is แล้ว used here? The English translation doesn't say "already".
แล้ว marks a change of state or a completed action. While it often translates to "already," it doesn't always need to be translated into English. Here, it simply emphasizes that the bag wasn't lost before, but now the change has happened: it is lost.
Where is the verb "is" in this sentence?
How does ของ work to make the word "my"?
In Thai, you show possession by saying the item, then ของ (of), then the person. So กระเป๋า ของ ผม literally translates to "bag of me". The word order is the opposite of English!
I learned before that หาย means to get better from an illness. Why does it mean "lost" here?
The core meaning of หาย is "to disappear". When a sickness disappears, you are cured. When an object like a กระเป๋า (bag) disappears, it is lost! Context tells you which meaning makes sense.
