Questions & Answers about คุณ เคย ไป ยุโรป ไหม คะ
Why is เคย placed before ไป?
เคย means 'to have ever done something' or 'to have experienced'. In Thai, it acts like a helper verb and goes right before the main action. So เคยไป translates perfectly to 'ever go'.
Why does the Thai sentence use ไป (to go) instead of a word for 'been'?
In English we ask if you have 'been' to a place, but Thai uses the action word ไป (to go). You are literally asking 'Have you ever gone Europe?'
Where is the word for 'to' before ยุโรป?
It doesn't need one! Verbs of motion in Thai, like ไป (to go) or มา (to come), connect directly to the destination. Adding a word for 'to' here would sound unnatural.
How do I reply 'yes' or 'no' to this specific question?
Instead of a generic yes/no, you reply using the lesson's key word. For yes, say เคย (khoei - ever) followed by your polite particle (ครับ or ค่ะ). For no, say ไม่เคย (mai khoei - never) plus your polite particle.
