Questions & Answers about คุณ แต่งตัว หรือยัง ครับ
Why do we use หรือยัง instead of the regular yes/no question word ไหม here?
ไหม is used for general yes/no questions, but หรือยัง specifically asks about completion, meaning 'already or not yet?'. Because getting dressed is an action that is either finished or unfinished at the time of speaking, หรือยัง is the natural choice to ask 'Are you dressed yet?'.
What is the word แต่งตัว made of?
The word แต่งตัว is made of two parts. แต่ง means 'to decorate' or 'to compose', and ตัว means 'body'. So in Thai, to 'decorate the body' means to get dressed!
Does หรือยัง always go at the end of the sentence?
Yes! When asking if an action is completed, หรือยัง always goes at the very end of the core sentence. The only thing that can come after it is a polite particle like ครับ (for male speakers) or ค่ะ (for female speakers).
How do I answer this question if I am already dressed, or if I am not?
To say yes (you are dressed), you reply with แต่งแล้ว (dressed already) or just แล้ว (already). To say no, you reply with ยัง (not yet) or ยังไม่แต่ง (not yet dressed).
