Questions & Answers about น้องสาว ของ คุณ พร้อม หรือยัง คะ
Why do we use หรือยัง here instead of the standard question word ไหม?
หรือยัง literally means "or not yet?". You use it when you are asking if a state has been reached or an action has been completed by now. Since being "ready" (พร้อม) is a state you transition into, you ask "are you ready yet?" using หรือยัง. If you used ไหม, it would sound like asking if someone has the general quality of being ready.
Do I always have to use ของ to say "your younger sister"?
No, you can often drop the possession word ของ in everyday speech. Saying น้องสาวคุณ (literally "younger sister you") is perfectly natural in Thai and means exactly the same thing.
How exactly does the word น้องสาว mean "younger sister"?
It is made of two separate words. น้อง means "younger sibling" and can refer to a brother or a sister. สาว means "young woman". Put them together, and you get "younger sister". To say "younger brother", you would use the word for male (ชาย) to make น้องชาย.
Why does this sentence end with คะ instead of ค่ะ?
คะ is the polite particle used by female speakers specifically for questions. Since this sentence is asking a question, you must use คะ. ค่ะ is only used for statements and answering questions.
