Questions & Answers about ฉัน ก็ เสียใจ ค่ะ

In English, we often say "I am sad too" with the "too" at the end. Can I put ก็ at the end of the sentence in Thai?
No, ก็ cannot go at the end of a sentence. It must be placed directly after the subject (ฉัน) and before the verb or adjective (เสียใจ). It links the subject to the action or feeling that is being shared.
Why isn't there a word for "am" in this sentence?
In Thai, feeling words and adjectives like เสียใจ (sad) act like verbs on their own. You don't need a "to be" word like "am" or "is" before them. You simply put the subject, the particle ก็, and then the adjective.
I noticed ใจ means "heart" in Thai. What does the เสีย part of เสียใจ mean?
เสีย means "broken", "spoiled", or "lost". So เสียใจ literally translates to "broken heart" or "spoiled heart", which is the Thai way of expressing the feeling of being sad, upset, or sorry.
Since the sentence ends with the female polite particle ค่ะ, how would a man say this?
A male speaker would change the polite ending ค่ะ to ครับ. He would also typically change the pronoun ฉัน (which is most commonly used by females in everyday speech) to the male pronoun ผม, making the sentence ผมก็เสียใจครับ.
