Questions & Answers about นักเรียน ก็ เบื่อ ครับ
English speakers usually put 'too' at the end of a sentence. Why is ก็ in the middle here?
In Thai, the word for 'also' or 'too' (ก็) always comes directly after the subject and before the verb or adjective. The pattern is Subject + ก็ + Verb/Adjective. So you say นักเรียน ก็ เบื่อ (Students also bored) instead of putting it at the end of the sentence.
Where is the word for 'are' in this sentence?
You don't need one! In Thai, emotion and description words like เบื่อ (bored) act as verbs themselves. You never use a 'to be' word with them. You just say the subject and then the feeling.
Does นักเรียน specifically mean plural 'students'?
Not necessarily. Thai nouns don't change to show plural versus singular. นักเรียน can mean 'the student' or 'the students'. You have to rely on the context of the conversation to know which one it is.
Since the sentence ends with the male polite word ครับ, does that mean the students are boys?
No, polite particles like ครับ (for men) and ค่ะ (for women) depend purely on the person speaking the sentence. The person telling you this fact is male, but the students could be boys, girls, or a mixed group.
