Questions & Answers about กระเป๋า ใบ นี้ เบา ไป ไหม ครับ
Doesn't ไป usually mean "to go"? Why is it translated as "too" here?
You are right that ไป normally means "to go". However, when it is placed immediately after an adjective like เบา (light), it acts as a degree modifier meaning "too" or "excessively". It is a shorter, very common way to say เกินไป (too much).
Why do we need the word ใบ in กระเป๋า ใบ นี้?
In Thai, when you specify "this" or "that" object, you must use a classifier. The pattern is always: Noun + Classifier + This/That. Because ใบ is the classifier for bags (and other containers), "this bag" must be formed as กระเป๋า ใบ นี้ (bag + classifier + this).
Does เบา mean "light" in weight or "light" in color?
เบา specifically means "light" in weight. It can also mean soft in volume or gentle in force. If you want to describe a light color, you must use a completely different word: อ่อน.
Could I put the question word ไหม before ไป?
No, because ไหม is a yes/no question word that must be placed at the very end of the sentence's core thought, right before your polite particle (ครับ). Since ไป (too) has to stick directly to the adjective it modifies (เบา), the question word ไหม must come after it.
