Questions & Answers about เพราะ เขา กิน อาหาร เผ็ด เยอะ ค่ะ
Why does the sentence start with เพราะ? Is it okay to start a sentence with the word because in Thai?
Yes! Just like in English when you answer a why question, you can start your Thai sentence directly with เพราะ (because). You do not need to repeat the whole situation before giving the reason.
The English translation says ate, but I do not see a past tense word here. How do we know it happened in the past?
Thai verbs like กิน (to eat) do not change to show past tense. If this sentence is answering a question about something that already happened, the past tense is simply understood from the context.
Why is it อาหารเผ็ด instead of เผ็ดอาหาร?
In Thai, adjectives always come after the noun they describe. So instead of saying spicy food, you say food spicy (อาหาร = food, เผ็ด = spicy).
Where does เยอะ (a lot) belong in a sentence like this?
Words describing quantity like เยอะ generally come at the end of the phrase. Here, it follows the complete idea of eat spicy food (กินอาหารเผ็ด) to show the amount that was eaten.
Could เขา mean she instead of he in this sentence?
Yes! เขา is a common pronoun that can mean he, she, or even they. We translate it as he here, but depending on who you are talking about, it could easily mean she.
